Theodosia Throckmorton is a girl with the talent of being able to sense a cursed artifact. One day, her mother arrives home with an artifact, the Heart of Egypt. Theodosia, her brother Henry and her pickpocket friend Sticky Will work together to return the Heart of Egypt to its original place before the Serpents of Chaos get it.
This book is full of ancient Egyptian myths. I like the cat called Isis, who was named after the Egyptian goddess.
The illustrations were done by Yoko Tanaka who also illustrated Kate DiCamillo's The Magician's Elephant.
