http://www.theodosiathrockmorton.com/ Love this website! It offers a blog written by Theodosia, books she's reading, and information about the time period Theodosia lives in. You can also read a section of the book here.
This series quickly became a favorite for me. Theodosia's parents work for a museum in London. They are very neglectful parents so they often forget all about Theodosia. She practically lives in the museum and sleeps in her own coffin. Why you ask? Theodosia is special. She can feel curses! She's always careful to keep her hands covered and doesn't lurk in the dark halls of the museum. Her dad thinks she's very odd, but she's just trying to protect people from these dark curses. She goes on quite a few adventures trying to stop the Serpents of Chaos from bringing chaos and destruction to London. She rescues artifacts, control mummies, and even goes to Egypt to save London. You must read this adventure tale to see how a young girl does it!
*Mrs. B's note: when reading about ancient cultures, it always helps to research more about that time period, people, and beliefs as you read. It will surely help you comprehend (understand) so much more. See my list of Egyptian books to help you.
