The Curse of Khebar

Emma Gardner and her family have returned from an exciting trip to Egypt where she innocently buys a souvenir that is far more than she thought it was. Chaos follows the souvenir through the streets of Cairo and back to her home in North Carolina.

A fictional tale that spans over 3,000 years, The Curse of Khebar goes back to ancient times to tell a story of Queen Nefertiti,a secret she must protect, of the worship of many gods, and of an emerald scarab given magical powers.

This action-packed adventure blends historical fiction with the mystery and myth that surrounds the tales of the curse of the Pharaohs, mummies, the pyramids, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. When the natural balance is disrupted, the past and present collide, placing Emma in the middle of powerful and dangerous ancient forces in a life and death battle.

This is the third book in the series about the Gardner family. It is written with all ages in mind (eight and above). Often, families find that these books are fun to read out loud or to discuss around the dinner table. Because so many chapters end with 'cliff-hangers' even unmotivated readers want to turn the page!
