The Akhenaten Adventure

The Akhenaten Adventure

Series: Children of the Lamp (Book #1)
by Philip Kerr

Meet John and Philippa Gaunt, twelve-year-old twins who one day discover themselves to be descended from a long line of djinn. All of a sudden, they have the power to grant wishes, travel to extraordinary places, and make people and objects disappear.

Luckily, the twins are introduced to their eccentric djinn-uncle Nimrod, who will teach them how to harness their newly found power. And not a moment too soon . . . since John and Philippa are about to embark on a search to locate a monstrous pharaoh named Akhenaten and his eerie tomb.

Acclaimed writer Philip Kerr delivers his first novel for children — the initial book in the imaginative "Akhenaten Adventure" trilogy.
