Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll: An Ancient Egypt Kids Book - Paperback

by Scott Peters (Author)

.What if the first clue isn't a secret message or a hidden map, but something much stranger: a pair of mismatched sandals? Zet is about to find out.

Zet is good at spotting odd things, which is lucky-because this case is full of them. A runaway suspect. A missing scroll. A clue no one else thinks is a clue. So when the police lose the trail, Zet doesn't wait for permission. He works out what the sandals mean-and drags his clever sister Kat straight into the case.

The trail leads through crowded markets, back streets, and temple courtyards. Fishy suspects pop up everywhere, making Kat roll her eyes while Zet tries to puzzle out who is acting the sneakiest. Every clue points somewhere new. Every answer makes the mystery stranger. To find the scroll, Zet and Kat have to treat the whole city like a puzzle-and solve it before the wrong person does.
