ONE CAT. TWO GIRLS. THREE WAYS TO DIE.
It's 1871. Fourteen-year-old Rose and her twin sister, Lily are on their way to Egypt. When a sinister Egyptologist joins their ship, Rose senses terrible danger. Wherever she is, there he is too, watching from the shadows. But no one, not even Lily will heed her warnings.
After receiving a stone cat amulet, the spirit of Miut, a long-dead temple cat, haunts Rose's dreams. An ancient mystery propels her and Lily on a perilous quest.
Can the sisters working together put the past to rest and escape their enemy's clutches, or will they be sacrificed to the Egyptian gods in a blood ritual as old as time itself?

'A CLEVERLY PLOTTED HISTORICAL MYSTERY... A FINALIST AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.' The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.
A B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree. (Book Readers Appreciation Group)
A MOONBEAM CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD Silver Medallist.
"A TERRIFIC THRILLER... SET IN VICTORIAN AND ANCIENT EGYPT" Pat Remler, Egyptologist, author of EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY A - Z.
"The action flips between 1871 and Ancient Egypt, with memorable characters such as Miut the pregnant cat, her friend Hori and their enemy Neshi.... The baddies... are satisfyingly villainous... and each of the two settings feels authentic. It's always difficult in historical novels to get the balance of characters right... this book manages to pull off this balancing act well." Shortlisted for THE INTERNATIONAL RUBERY BOOK AWARD.
"NILE CAT IS A GRAND MIDDLE-GRADE ADVENTURE THAT SWEEPS THE READERS BACK IN TIME, FIRST TO VICTORIAN-ERA EGYPT AND THEN TO THE REIGN OF KING RAMESSES II. THIS IS A GREAT INTRODUCTION FOR YOUNG READERS TO LEARN ABOUT ANCIENT EGYPT." Historical Novel Society (An Editors' Choice review - August 2021)
