The Saffron Princess Hazel Walshaw

Spending the holidays with Grandma in an antique shop in London isn't very exciting for a 13-year-old girl whose parents have gone to Cairo. All Tamsin wants is an adventure-and maybe to meet a cute boy. Her wish for excitement is granted when she is sent an old Arabian storybook that holds the key to unlocking an ancient treasure. When 14-year-old Amir comes to the shop, under suspicious circumstances, Tamsin is intrigued by him. After Tamsin's Grandma disappears, Tamsin seeks him out. Aided by an enchanted princess, a child genie, and some unexpected magic, they find themselves hunting for treasure beneath the streets of Cairo and embark on a journey that takes them to the Nile and into the heart of the Pyramids. Now they must uncover the secret of the treasure and stop it from falling into the wrong hands before it's too late. An Arabian Tale of love, friendship, magic, and adventure for the modern age.
