Thirteen-year-old Christopher Haimes loves nothing more than spending time with his big brother Kirby. Together the boys share a mutual love of astronomy and dream of one day building their very own observatory. But Kirby hasn't been his usual happy self lately. A group of school bullies are determined to make his life miserable and when the bullying results in Kirby’s tragic death, the Haimes family is left devastated.
All Christopher wants is for life to go back to normal and Mum and Dad to stop arguing.
Then one night a mysterious parcel is delivered to the family home. Inside is an ancient Egyptian artifact - recently stolen from the British Museum - with a note that promises the chance of a lifetime. A chance for Kirby to come back to life. A chance to be a family again.
But keeping it secret won’t be easy ... and saying goodbye might just prove to be impossible.
