Tc goes on a dig with her uncle Max and they uncover some hieroglyphs in Australia. There is debate over whether they are real or not but TC has a special gift which can help her see the truth. I thought that TC was an interesting character. She is dealing with her parents death and what her gift can do. I think teens will enjoy this book and I would recommend it. Synopsis: Did Ancient Egyptians visit Australia?” 13 year old TC has a secret. No one knows she possesses a supernatural power. Can TC help her Uncle Max, an archaeologist; unearth enough evidence that Ancient Egyptians visited Australia, before he’s discredited in the media by those that want the past to stay buried? “Some would say that I have a gift, but to me it’s always been a curse. Before I changed my mind, I tugged off my gloves and whipped my head left and right, checking to see that no one was watching. I sucked in breath and steadied my nerves then thrust my hands against the stones and touched one of the cartouches. Time and place ripped away.” An enthralling archaeological mystery, mixing the supernatural with humour and suspense. The first of TC’s adventures - an archaeological mystery for junior readers and above. Family friendly. |
