A BRONZE MEDAL WINNER and highly recommended.' - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.Thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt, nineteen year old Tutankhamun is about to die. The details of his death will be known only to a few, who will seek to keep the truth a mystery for evermore. Theirs is an injustice that will prevent the Pharaoh from resting in peace and will prove a victory for the forces of chaos. In the twenty-first century, Charlie Swain is told the location of a secret portal. Through the writing in a mysterious book, he is called to travel through the portal back to ancient Egypt to solve the mystery of the Pharaoh’s death. Succeed, and he will help restore order to the universe. Fail, and the forces of chaos will grow ever stronger. Along with his three friends, George, Paige and Sheena, Charlie must travel back in time to the land that stands in the shadow of The Sphinx, and discover the truth that has gone unspoken for millennia.

Rohan and his mother are holidaying in the Kumaon Hills. Rohan should be practising Maths because he failed in his exam, but he is spending a lot of time reading Jim Corbett’s Maneaters of Kumaon and wandering in the hills with Manjul, who herds cows. The two have become friends because Rohan admires the way she jumps streams like a little cat and her knowledge of the woods. Into their lives somes a tiger which is apparently killing cattle in the nearby villages. And then. . . there is a mysterious man with a moustache who materializes at night and seems to be able to talk to both children and tigers. Rohan is convinced that he is Jim Corbett’s ghost. Manjul disagrees. Whoever the mysterious man is, his task is to save the tiger from poachers and herd it back into the National Park. The result is a story of mystery and magic. “This story is told in a simple lyrical style, set in a simple, idyllic location. It symbolizes dreams and the spirit of adventure which is locked up inside children and which very often find their eventual release. And slowly, simply, through the nuances a modern fairy tale is crafted.” <p align="right"> Rituparno Ghosh, Filmmaker
