Sudi finds a strange invitation to the Terrace Restaurant in her locker while talking to her friend Carter. She thinks it's from Scott, a boy that she has liked for a very long time. So, she's hoping that he's trying to secretly ask her out. She just broke up with Brian and he keeps saying mean things to her when he sees her at school, at parties, and at Dulce & Deluca. It turns out that the invitation is not from Scott at all. In fact, the invitation is much more serious than that. She learns that she and two other girls are decendants of Egyptian pharoahs and only they three can fight against the evil powers of Seth to prevent chaos from returning. The boy who she does meet at the restaurant has many gifts to give her...and she has alot to learn about fighting evil. The plot moves very fast and I found myself holding my breath, with quick resolution, many times. You will be happy to know that we have four books in the series, because when you finish Book 1, you won't want to wait to read Book 2! Recommended for grades 7 and up.
