Eleven-year-old Hattie Ramzy investigates the theft of an Egyptian relic in this enthralling middle grade mystery for fans of The Swifts.
Hattie wants to escape. She’s stuck in her grandmother Nenna’s historic Luxor Mansion with pretentious, pompous Egyptologists. She can’t live up to the name of her great family: her grandmother is iconic, her parents are renowned, and her sisters are spunky and sharp. But Hattie is just plain nervous.
So Hattie is hiding in the shadows when the eccentric Egyptologists reveal Nenna’s eightieth birthday gift: the ancient bust of Nefertiti, on loan from a German museum. Nenna’s dream of seeing the artifact on Egyptian soil is fulfilled. But soon, the bust goes missing. And Hattie is sure the thief is still inside Luxor House.
Can she uncover its whereabouts before her parents are arrested for its theft?
