Tom and Lea are found in Egypt in the time of the pyramids. They learn what a mirage and follow a cat in the maze of a pyramid to meet the ghost of Queen Hutépi seeking entry into the world of the beyond. My son (5 and 3) were very impressed with the mummies (what boy of this age do not is it?), The pyramids and adventure in general. The books in the Magic Hut I like very much because they are exciting, lend themselves well to reading aloud and contain loads of information on history.
