From Scott Peters, award-winning author and creator of over 300 museum and science center exhibits worldwide, comes a non-stop mystery and adventure series-like the Hardy Boys set in ancient Egypt!
12-year-old Zet and his sister Kat love running their family pottery stall. But it's a struggle to keep afloat, now that their father is away fighting the Hyksos invaders. When the siblings learn about a valuable scroll that's gone missing, Zet and Kat decide to join forces. If they can find it, they'll win a huge reward for their family. Their problems will be over! Little do they know what troubles lie ahead.
The chase leads Zet and Kat into the hotspots of ancient Egypt-from stunning temples to the Nile River, through a mysterious land of hieroglyphics, Egyptian gods, mythology, and majesty that the world has never forgotten.
