What is The Ancient Egypt Sleepover about?
This book has a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vibe, with a group of unsuspecting children (clutching golden tickets, no less) rocking up at the British Museum for a night of Ancient Egypt-themed activities. Things go wrong, of course. There is a mystery to solve and a dastardly heist to foil.
Stephen Davies lives in London and enjoys visiting primary schools to conduct Ancient Egypt-themed writing workshops. See more of Stephen’s work at authorsabroad.com. Browse more recommended KS2 books for topics.
