- Book 2 of 4: The Theodosia Series
Theodosia Throckmorton is in a fix.
Allowed to attend a reception given by one of the directors of her parents’ museum, she stumbles across Mr. Tetley of the British Museum—in most unusual circumstances! Since Theo has last seen him in a showdown in an ancient Egyptian tomb, his reappearance could mean only one thing: the Serpents of Chaos are back.
In this second book in the popular series, Theodosia will once again have to take on secret societies, evil curses, and magic too sinister to imagine, especially if it falls into the wrong hands. Blocked at every turn, Theodosia will have to rely on her own skill and cunning—along with a little help from the most unexpected places.
This highly praised, exciting middle grade series is a must for fans of mysteries, humor, and nonstop action.
With a legendary magical artifact loose in the museum, Theodosia’s problems are just getting started.
- A Young Sleuth with Guts and Smarts: Meet Theodosia Throckmorton, an eleven-year-old who knows more about removing ancient curses than she does about polite society—a skill that comes in handy when a mummy turns out to be a murder victim.
- Magical Artifacts and Ancient Curses: From the legendary Staff of Osiris that can reanimate the dead to the sinister power of the Serpents of Chaos, Theodosia must use her wits to keep dangerous magic out of the wrong hands.
- A Fast-Paced Historical Adventure: Set against the backdrop of 1905 London, this thrilling mystery is packed with secret organizations, daring escapes, and unexpected allies.
- Perfect for Middle Grade Mystery Fans: This clever and funny adventure is a must-read for kids who love brave heroines, laugh-out-loud moments, and a puzzle that will keep them guessing until the end.
