Percy Jackson meets Arabian fairy tales in this stunning middle grade fantasy debut about a girl who becomes the guardian of Ali Babas legendary treasure. Believe in fairy tales. Sahara Rashad lives by logic. Loves science. And always has a plan. Except her dad just whisked her away to her uncles wedding in Egypt, upending every single plan she had for the summer. In Cairo, Saharas days are filled with family--and mystery. First, Saharas cousins claim the pretentious bride-to-be is actually a witch. Then her late mothers necklace starts glowing--and disappears. Saharas attempts to recover the necklace lead her to the greatest mystery yet. Deep in an underground chamber lies Ali Babas magical treasure. Hidden from a line of sorcerers who threatened to use its powers for evil, the treasure was given to Saharas ancestor Morgana for safekeeping and passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Now only Sahara stands in the sorcerers way. Can the girl whos never believed in magic trust the unknown and claim her legacy as the treasures keeper?.
