Chapter 1

Alison Liv Isner rushed into the storage room at Field and Excavation Inc., which also happened to be where she lived. Just two and a half weeks ago a globe in the storage area outside her room had transported her to the island of Honduras, where she had embarked on her first adventure. She’d found and returned a monkey idol to a high priest called Chuwen with the help of her new friends Figgy, Chicaletta, Bait, Glenda, and last but certainly not least, the fat rat named Tristan. It was a quest her mom had planned to undertake two years before Ali’s birth, but she never had the chance due to her untimely passing.

Alison had returned to her room daily, before her archery lessons, trying to recreate that fateful day in September, but another expedition eluded her. The calendar had turned a page to the cool and colorful month of October. She pulled off her tweed jacket and tossed it behind a partially closed door in the back room. Plopping down onto the antique rug, and smoothing her two long braids behind her shoulders, she opened her mom’s journal.

The next adventure was to take place in Egypt’s pyramid catacombs, leading to the tomb of Pharaoh Zicobus. It was one of many quests her mom had researched and planned out but never had the chance to accomplish. She traced the strange script and sketches of the pyramids.

Pharaoh Zicobus had been a respected pharaoh who was mostly fair to his people. While it was common for pharaohs to adorn their heads with a crown, Pharaoh Zicobus’s was special. His unusual headdress, according to the journal, could see the future. He’d been murdered for the special crown, but his loyal followers were able to hide it before it could be used for evil. They buried him inside a sealed secret tomb, along with his headdress.

Ali slammed the book shut and exhaled loudly. Her stomach dropped. She had to get back to her animal friends and find it before the Geese did. She still wasn’t exactly sure who the Geese were, only that they weren’t actual geese. They were bad people. Very bad people.

As Ali combed through the pages, she found a crude drawing of the headdress that her mother had sketched. It was a Nemes headdress and looked like the ones she’d seen King Tut wear in her history books. Only instead of gold and blue, it was gold and turquoise. The heavy stripes crested at the top and cascaded down past the shoulders. It was wide. Ali guessed it would be nearly even with the pharaoh’s shoulders. At the top was a pyramid with an eye etched into it.

Ali knew she’d seen that symbol before. She jumped to her feet, dropped the journal on the desk, and ran to the cash register at the front of the store.

Dad, she called. She could see the top of his head along with a customer’s hat behind a row of tents.

What are you up to, squirt? Tommy, the only employee of Field and Excavation Inc., asked.

Nothing. Ali avoided eye contact.

What are you doing behind the register?

I need a dollar, she said.

A dollar? Tommy nearly yelled. Did you ask your dad? That’s a lot of money.

I don’t want to keep it, Ali said. I just need to look at it, for a minute.

Tommy slowly made his way to the register. For sixteen he was tall, but he hadn’t filled out. His lanky arms hung like two vines as he walked. He paused for just a moment and studied Ali’s face before pressing a circular black button on the register. A loud ding rang out, and the cash drawer slid open. Tommy pinched a precious one-dollar bill from the till and held it above Ali’s head.

Give it to me. Ali jumped to grab it.

Okay. He bit his lip. Promise you’ll give it back? I need this job.

You do? she asked. I thought you just wanted to go to school in town.

I’m trying to help my family. Tommy shifted. The Dust Bowl . . . we haven’t been able to farm for years.

Oh.

And your dad was nice enough to give me a place to sleep while I work and go to school. I owe him a lot. Just make sure you give it back, please.

I won’t even leave your sight. Ali snatched the worn bill from his hand. She flipped it over, and on the back was the same pyramid and the all-seeing eye.

I knew it, she mumbled. Thanks, Tommy. She
