This is the fourth book in the Theodosia Thockmorten series by R.L. LaFevers. This was my favorite book in the series so far, it really took the story to another level.Theodosia has journeyed with her mother to Egypt supposedly to help her mom on an archaeological dig. Theodosia's real purpose it to return the Emerald tablet and other important artifacts to the protection of the Brotherhood so that they don't fall into the evil hands of the Serpents of Chaos.I really enjoyed this book. Theodosia takes on more responsibility than in previous books and is really maturing; she has started making decisions that take the welfare of others into account. We also get some great new characters thrown into the mix.In general it was just cool to have this book take place in Egypt. Theodosia finds out a ton of interesting things about her birth and history and about how she is tied into the ages long battle between the Serpents of Chaos and the Brotherhood. All in all a very solid addition to the series.I continue to enjoy Theodosia's intelligence, snarky attitude, and ability to work her way through almost anything. There were a lot of twists and turns in this novel so it really kept me guessing and was hard to put down.I did have one small complaint and that is things are getting complicated. Between the secret groups in London and the similar but separate secret groups in Egypt I was having a bit of trouble remember who belonged to what group and what the focus of each group was. This would have been clearer in my mind if I had read previous novels more recently.Overall a great addition to the series. If you liked previous books you will like this one.
I enjoyed reading this book, although I'm now in my early forties. The book is aimed at 9 - 12 year olds (or grades 4 - 7). I have not read any of the other books in the series, and this is the fourth in the series, so I wasn't sure how easy or difficult it would be to "catch up" with the characters. The author has the main character (Theodosia) appear in chapter 1 writing a list, while traveling by train to meet her mother. The list summarizes the main plot and characters involved in the series so far, and while it isn't the most exciting way to begin a novel, it helps if you are completely new to the story and only able to begin with Book 4.As a child at this age, I remember being very fascinated by all things Ancient Egyptian. I read every book I could find at the public library on the topic, including several fiction books I remember fondly.Children (and adults) who enjoy the Theodosia series (or just enjoy all age-level books about Ancient Egypt)might want to dig up these classics as well:Time Cat, by Lloyd Alexander Time Cat (Puffin Modern Classic) (Puffin Modern Classics)The Egypt Game, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder The Egypt GameWraiths of Time, by Andre Norton
I purchased this book on .com for my Kindle. My Kindle was probably one of the best gifts I ever received. It is wonderful that I can purchase from for my Kindle and in a few minutes it has been down loaded and I am able to start reading. This covers my need for instant gratification.Theodosia is on the train heading for Cairo with he mother and her cat Isis. Her mother was not at all pleased about the cat comining along. Theodosia is busy writing a list of things she must do while in Egypt. There are various people she has to look up such as Major Harriman Grindle, head of the Brotherhood of the Chosen Keepers who lives in Cairo. She has made a sworn promise to Awi Bubu, the Egyptian magician she bacame friends in London. She gave him her solemn promise to return two powerful artifacts, the Orb of Ra and the Emerald Tablet, to the Wedjadeen. She has promised to help her mother find the Temple of Thutmos the lll. She despertly wants to find out more details about her birth. In the previouse book"The Eyes of Horus" she finds out she was not born in London. She is horrified, then she is thrilled because her parents tell her she had been born in Egypt. Oooh, that explains soo much!! Aside from learning about herself she was told by a realiable source that her grandfather was also a member of the Brotherhood of the Chosen Keepers. In the last book "The Eyes of Horus" she was witness to some amazing feats of her grandmother. She wonders why was she never told of such astonishing and impressive family history. She is both angry and proud.Now that she found the Major she can focus on locating one Dr.Quilings who is head of Brothers of the Chosen Keepers research and development. He is quite a character and a brilliant inventor.
