What could be more exciting than traveling back in time to Ancient Egypt? While time travel is not feasible for most young readers, the new Theodosia series is the next best thing. Theodosia, an eleven-year-old girl, lives in London with her parents. Her father works at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities and her mother is an archaeologist. When mummies begin disappearing from museums around the city, Theodosia's father is under suspicion. After all, it is a bit odd that the mummies disappear and reappear at the museum where he is the curator. Theodosia, a young Egyptologist in training, decides to help solve the case and return the mummies to their rightful locations. But unfortunately Theodosia has an annoying governess to deal with and the young girl wonders if anyone is really on her side. Whom can she trust? Soon Theodosia plunges head first into an adventure filled with mysticism and incantations. Young readers will enjoy meeting the charming Theodosia, a budding archaeologist who solves cases and makes discoveries on her own. Reviewer: Suzanna E. Henshon, Ph.D.
