A page-turning thriller from an acclaimed writer. Set in ancient
Egypt, this is the story of a young boy, Varro, and his flight from
danger as he is pursued along the River Nile by an opportunistic
lord. He is believed to be carrying something very valuable - but
has no idea what it could be. Full of authentic detail about
ancient Egypt, rich imagery of the lush delta plains and the
forbidding stone-carved monuments to gods, and exciting,
nail-biting tension. The story culminates in an exciting
face-to-face encounter with the legendary pharaoh. Acclaim for the
series: '...a quartet of books with robust child appeal ...the
brief is clearly to appeal to those recently emerging from reading
schemes but requiring continuing support. But the stories have a
fresh originality that will make them great favourites' - Lindsey
Fraser, Guardian Education Book of the Week, 13/05/03.
