Secrets of a Sun King is an action packed novel based some time ago in England when there was a great deal of poverty.  Lilian Kaye is an intelligent young girl, who although she is poor attends a posh school, where she has is unmistakably unhappy.

She has no friends and only enemies. Her relationship with her Grandfather is really important to her, so when he becomes sick and has to go to hospital her life is in turmoil.

 

One day her grandfather receives a parcel containing a mysterious Egyptian package. The contents of the package are a mystery which Lily is determined to unravel, even though it contains  the secrets of a pharaoh and his cursed death. Will Lily and her friends save her grandfather’s mysterious curse?

 

I would 100% recommend this book to confident readers, especially if you enjoy adventure books or realistic fiction. Some parts are a bit gruesome so if you are squeamish I would suggest you stay clear.
