In the dark, mysterious tombs of Cairo, a thrilling puzzle awaits to be discovered.
Hattie Blackhouse is the daughter of famous Egyptologists who've gone missing at their latest dig site in Thebes. When Hattie arrives to investigate, it becomes clear that something is definitely amiss in the tombs of Cairo. Here, Hattie discovers the tracks of a double agent, working for Napoleon, with secrets buried deeper than the Pharoahs. In a foreign place, where friends can just as easily be enemies, Hattie must find a way to pull the pieces back together—including herself. In the tradition of Lauren Willig and Deanna Raybourn, Daughter of the God-King offers up an engaging, intricate puzzle.

Serani weaves her own personal experiences of being a depressed child along with her clinical experiences as a psychologist treating depressed children.

Spooky, funny, and fresh, Sam Fisher's middle-grade debut explores the bonds and rivalries that are unique to siblings . . . even as it revels in monstrous mayhem!

Quinn takes on a huge challenge when he enters his first ultra-marathon, the punishing Shin-Kicker 100 — a 24-hour race that will push him to the very limit of his endurance.
