Travel through time back to Ancient Egypt with bestselling and award-winning author, M. G. Leonard. Discover how a trip down the Nile inspired her newest fast paced adventure Hunt for the Golden Scarab. Explore the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of the Pharaohs can be found, unravel the ancient art of mummification, learn about heart scarabs, the Book of the Dead and the possible location of the lost tomb of Nefertiti. This event is perfect for adventure enthusiasts, budding Egyptologists and time travellers.

My first public event about Hunt for the Golden Scarab will be at the inaugural Waterstones Children’s Book Festival in Lincoln. What are you doing in the February half term? Fancy an adventure through time to Ancient Egypt with me? I’ll be at Lincoln Central Library on the 15th of February at 10.30am sharing my enthusiasm for Egyptology and scarabs. It’s going to be thrilling! I will be signing afterwards.
