My book talk<\/strong>: Immortal teen Tut suddenly has bigger problems than an overprotective guardian and middle school bullies as the man who killed his father centuries ago reappears as head of an evil-worship cult in present-day DC.<\/p>\n

Rescued by the god Osiris from assassination, now Tut lives with a golden scarab heart, forever age 13. Centuries later, his middle school’s field trip turns ugly when “Tut’s Tomb” exhibit includes dark god Set, much hated by the real Tut.<\/p>\n

Scarabs swarming everywhere, exploding obelisk monuments, and too much attention from kids at school – many eerie things are happening in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

When the general who killed Tut’s father escapes from his eternal prison to lead Set’s followers in destruction, Tut and mortal friend Henry follow clues found by his army of tiny shabti soldiers and advisor Horus in cat form.<\/p>\n

Can they save DC residents from this supernatural peril?
\nWhy is Tut’s guardian hiding a deadly secret?
\nWill Tut have to use the last spell in The Book of the Dead<\/em>\u00a0 to stop Horemheb?<\/p>\n
