I picked up 3 books in a series by R. L. LaFevers from the library last weekend: Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos, Theodosia and the Staff of Osiris and Theodosia and the Eyes of Horus. They centre around the 11 year old daughter of 2 Egyptologists living in London just prior to WW II. Theodosia is precocious and somewhat gifted in Egyptian magic and sensitive to discovering and removing curses from relics. I quite like the series, as it combines history and mythology with a sense of humour and a sense of adventure. I am just into the third book and I figure it will get me through this week.
