In ancient Egypt, a scarab was a gem cut in the form of a scarab beetle, often engraved with hieroglyphs on the flat underside. Their popular use was as amulets and impression seals. In “The Chronicles of the Stone: The Secret of the Sacred Scarab” (Book 1), author Fiona Ingram brings to life a 5000-year-old mystery and introduces us to Adam and Justin Sinclair.
These tales written for children were inspired by the author's own family trip to Egypt. If you enjoyed reading Roman Mysteries by Caroline Lawrence, you'll probably like this series as well. Like Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Ingram's books have also won awards.
