Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up | Series: Read-It! Chapter Books: Historical Tales

The Great Pyramid is a lively place to work. The only irritation is Antef, the fussy, bullisome supervisor who makes everyone feel more like slaves than free workers: so much so that they end up going on strike to protest against him! When Antef disappears, the workers are blamed. The only witness is Dafia, but she stays silent to protect her father. However, she decides to come up with a plan to clear the men's names, and the only way to do that is to prove that Antef is alive. But how?
