Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos

R. L. LaFevers (2007), 343 pages
Audience: 4th Grade - 7th Grade
Tombs. Mummies. Curses. Secret Societies. Mystery. Theodosia Throckmornton knows a lot about ancient Egypt and that is a good thing given all the peculiar happenings that come her way. Her mother is an archaeologist, her father is the head curator of the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in London, and her brother, well, he's younger and that is enough said about that. So, as you would expect, Theo spends plenty of time at the museum and it is her ability to feel and see ancient curses that are attached to artifacts that causes all the trouble. The legendary Heart of Egypt amulet is the most cursed artifact Theo has ever encountered. From the moment it comes to the museum, Theo's life is changed and if she does not find a way to return the amulet to Egypt, the British Empire will crumble. Theo's dangerous quest will have you on the edge of your seat. This is the first book in the series followed by Theodosia and the Staff of Osiris and Theodosia and the Eyes of Horus.
