Synopsis
Four children star in a rip-roaring Indiana Jones-esque adventure across London and Egypt, in the first story in an exciting series of four When Kit Salter and her friends peek at a famed mummy in a museum chamber, they are shocked to discover rattles and moans coming from the box. Inside is an Egyptian stowaway, determined to return a looted scarab and save his village. When the mummy is stolen too, the ensuing adventures puts the children fast on the heels of a villainous East End mob, and right into the heart of the Western Desert. But as the story climaxes in a temple, the villains and Kit find they have underestimated a stronger force—the terrible power of ancient Egypt.

From Booklist
Kit Salter, the ebullient 12-year-old heroine of this archaeological adventure story, lives in Victorian England, an era that would normally restrain any girl’s Egyptian wanderlust. But Kit is well situated, having only one parent, an Egyptologist at Oxford University; a famous explorer aunt, newly returned with a mummy from the tombs of Memphis; and a passion for deciphering ancient languages. Upon the arrival of the mummy, Kit and her two friends discover a small boy stowed away in the packing case. The boy, Ahmed, tells Kit and her friends that he must recover a stolen scarab from a secret burial place of the vizier to a great pharaoh or his village will be annihilated. The mummy in the museum then disappears, and the chase leads Kit and her friends through London’s vicious East End and then on to Egypt itself. Even though the plot borders on the ridiculous, so engaging is the chatty narrator, Kit, and so rollicking is the action that readers will be fully snared. First published in the UK in 2009. Grades 4-8. --Connie Fletcher
