Mystery of the Egyptian Amulet

"happy and rewarding" PopBop, AMAZON TOP 500 Reviewer

When priceless amulets start disappearing all over town, 12-year-old Zet is keen to test out his detective skills. Armed with curiosity--and a brainy sister who can read and write hieroglyphics--Zet races around town in an attempt to solve the mystery. Along the way, the siblings hunt for a meddling ghost, climb through a stinky garbage pile, sidestep a quick-tempered medjay police chief, and learn how hard it is to make a golden amulet. But when their backs are against the wall, Zet and Kat rely on the one thing they know best: each other. Because siblings, they stick together.
