Tessa and the Pharaoh's Puzzle: A Sand-Swirled Mystery Beneath the Pyramids

A magical time-travel adventure packed with puzzles, pyramids, and powerful friendships

When history calls, Tessa answers—with courage, curiosity, and a corgi by her side.

Twelve-year-old Tessa Summers never imagined that an old watch could open a doorway through time. But when a mysterious puzzle box appears and ancient symbols begin to glow, she and her best friends—Ava, Thomas, and her mischievous corgi, Sir Fitzroy—are swept into the golden sands of Ancient Egypt.

There, they meet Nefru, a young scribe guarding a powerful secret. To return home, the group must solve the Pharaoh's Puzzle: a series of ancient riddles hidden deep beneath the pyramids. But a cunning treasure hunter is close behind, and she'll stop at nothing to claim the treasure for herself.

With time running out and history in the balance, can Tessa and her friends unlock the puzzle, protect the past, and discover what true treasure really means?

This exciting chapter book celebrates teamwork, resilience, and friendship, all set against the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Perfect for readers aged 7–11 who love mystery, magic, and adventure.
