Shabati wakes up in a barley field, no memories, no past. Amy spends her Christmas in Egypt to visit her father, a T.V personality for the T.V show Action Archaeology. This book follows Shabati and Amy, two children with a huge time difference, but both in Egypt , Shabati in ancient Egypt while Amy in the modern Egypt.
Amy is pushed out of a normal Christmas at home into a wild adventure in Egypt. Finding himself in a barley field ,Shabati remembers nothing of his past life .Shabati gets chased by animals and is found by the vicious Master Hob. Since Master Hob keeps on calling him shabati, he assumes his name really is Shabati,which means magical servant in Arabic. Amy finds herself in the company of her dad, Jason, who also is on the Action Archaeology! T.V show, Kev and Dez, the cameramen, Ellie Powell, a field archaeologist , Farouk, the Egyptian overseer and Mazen, Farouk’s son, Anubis ,Mazen’s dog, Dr Rosa Hassan, the X-ray and CAT scan speicilist and Dan the technician .Amy is having a normal holiday (well as normal as you can get while going into tombs nearly every day )until she finds an entrance to a new tomb.Everyone gets to know about it and the work is abandoned from the Chariot Tomb, which was what the Action Arcaeology! team liked to call it and moved to the Cat Tomb, the nickname for the tomb that Amy had found. What is so special about the Cat Tomb and will Shabati ever be free from Master Hob’s rule? This entire adventure makes this book very interesting. This book gave me a glimpse of modern and ancient Egypt.
