review:


What a wonderful book.  It's a combination of Egyptian mythology, celtic lore and wonderful characters.  Michael, his sister Abby and Liam are three young children who are entirely believable and delightful to read about.  The story begins in a fabulous Scottish castle and continues to Egypt.  I could hear the ghost bagpiper piping as I read the story.  I encourage anyone who likes Indiana Jones to read this book.  It is a lot of fun for both children and adults alike!  I can't wait for the second book to arrive!  Free right now for Kindle

  1. I missed it for free on the kindle- but this book sounds great. I love adventures and all types of mythology. I will have to give this one a try!
