Nayu's thoughts
Lottie
is a very smart museum bred girl – I mean that literally. She
doesn't go to school like other children, instead gets taught a great
amount of information in a place she knows like the back of her hand
(which she tries to prove by walking about with her eyes closed, but
with a near miss of an accident with an ancient artifact she has to
stop that experiment). The knowledge she picks up plays a huge role
in solving the mysteries in both books, with a tiny bit of help from
her Uncle who is definitely eccentric in a lovable way.
I loved the
pompous museum owner who always tried to get in Lottie's way,
threatening her uncle with eviction which was cruel but added
tension to each tale. I like how readers are introduced to snippets
of history which will hopefully spark their interest to investigating
more about certain eras on their own. There were several moments
where I wanted to close my eyes because I was scared about what would
happen next, but both Lottie and her uncle manage to survive both
adventures.
Available at to buy at bookstores including NRC affiliate Foyles: The Curse of the Cairo Cat & The Secrets of the Stone
