About this item
Stolen Scroll – Hidden Clues – Secret Enemies – Real History
You, who have dug deep and sifted hard for a story to read have unearthed an ancient treasure: a mystery from the dusty ages, when a kid could be a hero and fight for the good of all . . .
Award-winning author Scott Peters brings readers a gripping, funny, and heartfelt mystery set in ancient Egypt. It's a modern classic-trusted by teachers, loved by kids, and read in classrooms nationwide.
When a priceless scroll disappears from their family’s pottery stall, twelve-year-old Zet and his sister Kat are swept into a thrilling chase across ancient Egypt. With their father away at war and their family struggling to survive, the reward for its return could change everything.
Armed with scraps of evidence and whispered secrets, Zet and Kat follow trails of riddles and clues through crowded markets, shadowy alleys, and towering temples.
Through twists and turns, the siblings learn lessons of courage, teamwork, and trust—discovering that even ordinary kids can rise to extraordinary challenges.
But they are not the only ones searching. Rival hunters are close on their heels, determined to claim the scroll for themselves.
Fun and fast-paced, this page-turning adventure is crafted to hook even reluctant readers. Parents and teachers looking for a history-rich read-aloud will find it hard to put down.
If your family loves ancient civilizations, gripping mysteries, and adventures like I Survived, Hazardous Tales, or the Hardy Boys, you’ll love the Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll.
