About this book
Albie is an ordinary little boy who has some extra-ordinary adventures!
In this story he’s whisked back in time to Ancient Egypt. Here he meets a small boy who hands him a head-dress. “Put this on and pretend to be me!” he says. Then he runs off!
Tuti’s sister, Anka, knows exactly where he’s gone, so she and Albie dash over the sand dunes and through the market to a giant sphynx. Here they enter a secret door and tiptoe through the catacombs in search of Tuti, who is looking for their great, great grandfather’s lost treasure.
Little do they know that some dangerous robbers are also on the prowl! Can they escape from the robbers, find the treasure and be home in time for lunch?
With lots of historical details to spot, and a hieroglyphic activity included, this fun adventure is a great introduction to Ancient Egypt. Perfect for bedtime stories and use in the classroom!
This is the ninth exciting adventure in the best-selling Albie series.
