Zayd's Travels: Shriek of the Sphinx (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798286183951)

Time doesn't just pass-it remembers.

When ten-year-old Zayd, a bright and curious Afro-Trinidadian boy, visits Egypt with his mum, he expects heat, pyramids, and maybe a few cool mummies. What he doesn't expect is a glowing scarab, a hidden chamber beneath the Sphinx, and a time-warping mystery that threatens the very fabric of history.

Joined by two local kids-fearless Layla and cautious Tariq-Zayd is pulled into an ancient secret that spans cursed tombs, talking guardians, and realms beyond time itself. At the heart of it all lies the Eye: a mysterious force that watches, remembers, and waits to choose a guardian.

As the trio unravels riddles carved in stone and confronts enemies both ancient and alien, they must decide what kind of heroes they want to be-and what they're willing to sacrifice to protect the future.

Bursting with adventure, Egyptian mythology, and cosmic wonder, Zayd's Travels - Shriek of the Sphinx is a thrilling science fiction tale for curious readers aged 9 to 13.
