Nile Cat by Angela Cecil Reid

Nile Cat by Angela Cecil Reid

A GIRL. A CAT. A MISSION THAT MUST SUCCEED - Fourteen-year-old Rose is scared. More scared than she has ever been. It is 1871. Rose and her twin sister, Lily, are travelling to Egypt. This is the adventure that Rose has longed for all her life.

UNTIL Mr Baxter joins the ship. Then everywhere she goes, there he is too. He watches her like a hungry fox watches a rabbit. She believes he wants her dead. But why?

Sleep is no escape. The tale of Miut, an ancient Egyptian temple cat and Hori, the boy who cares for her, haunts Rose's dreams. Hori and Miut must take the great Magician-Priest Heteb's Seal of Power to his tomb before it is closed - but time is running out. The Followers of Seth will stop at nothing to seize the Seal and take its power for themselves. Death waits for anyone who gets in their way.

The threads of past and present merge in the streets of Cairo and in the deserts beyond. Rose has Mr Baxter to defeat, and an ancient mission to complete. She cannot do it alone. She and Lily must work together. The penalty for failure will be death...

Cecil Reid, Angela: - Angela Cecil Reid taught children with dyslexia for many years.
