A mystery beside the Great Pyramid

Set during the construction of Khufu’s Great Pyramid, the story brings together Kaffe, the son of an Egyptian noble, and Sari, a girl enslaved after coming from the nomadic Sand People of the Sinai region. Their effort to solve a mystery and trap the person responsible unfolds against a detailed depiction of ancient Egypt. The premise links a children’s mystery with a specific period of ancient history, while its two young leads come from markedly different backgrounds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Suitable for children ages 9–12, as indicated in the source metadata.
  • A match for young readers interested in ancient Egypt and historical fiction.
  • For readers who enjoy mysteries involving clues, a culprit, and a pair of young protagonists.

Book overview

The pictured wall of an Egyptian tomb supplied the inspiration for this unusual story, which takes place during the building of the Great Pyramid of Khufu more than 4,000 years ago. Kaffe and Sari, an Egyptian noble's son and a slave girl from the nomadic Sand People of the Sinai region, help solve a troublesome mystery and trap its culprit. All told against a colorfully detailed backdrop of ancient Egypt.
