Review: Great book!! My 3rd grader loves it - My 3rd grader loves this series. It’s a great story that is engaging and my son is excited to read each day. The characters are well developed. The plot keeps him guessing. It’s inclusion of aspects of life in ancient Egypt are woven into the stories without being overwhelming and adds depth (passing people playing Senet on the streets for instance). Being set in ancient Egypt with relatable characters, it is blissfully free of the poorly written social “ideology” that has taken over so much of children’s literature recently. If someone wants their kids to read, the best way to get them to read is to give them books that are a really good story (not overwhelm them with poorly written trendy adult social contagions of the moment). My son is an advanced reader for 8yo. Some of the words are challenging for him, but not so much it frustrates him. This book would be engaging for kids well into middle school. We still have him read out loud to us some nights and it was interesting enough my husband and I both grabbed it after he was asleep and read it ourselves. My son is almost through book 2 and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Review: As an adult, Im hooked. - I bought this for my almost 8 year old daughter. I grew up an avid reader and even though I dont get to read my books anymore, I enjoy sharing my animated reading style with her at bedtime. Every night we work through a few chapters of a book and while I love our one regular series, I needed something more eventful and I want to introduce her to other genres. This seemed like a great pick because we both love ancient Egypt and everyone loves a good mystery. I will say, my girl is just finishing 2nd grade and this was a bit challenging for her to read on her own. Mostly due to the Egyptian references but also because it's a legitimate chapter book. She gets tired of reading so many words per page when there's no good pictures. We just finished the story tonight and while we were a little disappointed in how quickly it wrapped up, I have nothing but good things to say. The story is told in such a descriptive fashion that you could picture it for yourself. You were sucked in by the words and its was fun to read aloud. My girl immediately asked for the next book so we can work it into our rotation. She's also looking forward to checking out the author's website about Egypt thats included at the end. The historical reference note included from the author was an appreciated touch. It opened an unexpected conservation about how fact and fiction are able to blend together to create these fun stories and anything that peaks some type of learning interest in my stubborn girl has my vote 110%. ## Features - Excellent for homeschooling ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #285,912 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Children's Historical Fiction on Ancient Civilizations #101 in Children's Africa Books #1,390 in Children's Mystery, Detective, & Spy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,415 Reviews | ## Images ![Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll (Kid Detective Zet) (Volume 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Vxa9SmlAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!!

The book is probably written for the middle school to early high school reading levels. As a former teacher, I am always interested in books that may get children reading, and this is one! Serving in the Pharaoh's army, father has gone to war to fight the Hyksos, and times are hard for the family left behind. Eleven-year-old Zet and his younger sister Kat are left with the responsibility of minding the shop, but each week the children's earnings dwindle until they fear they won't have enough to feed themselves, their baby brother and their mother. So when a thief bounds through the market place, Zet overhears a medjay (police officer) offer a reward for information. So he steps up to the medjay to offer to help catch the thief in exchange for the reward. Of course Kat, his younger sister, thinks he's crazy. Unfortunately, this foolhearty decision soon lands Zet and his sister in dangerous trouble, so deep their very lives and the lives of their family as well as others are in extreme danger. The book is well written with strong description of the characters and the events. Peters depicts a realistic Egyptian setting for this historical novel. Without question, it is an action-packed mystery set in an ancient land with great attention to detail; the book will appeal to young and old readers alike. There are several simple themes running through the book; the most obvious are: Don't judge a book by its cover, and The importance of doing what is right - both for your family and your fellow man. Since things are not what they appear to be, to save their family, Zet and Kat together must learn about people: who to trust and who has evil motives. If you are interested in a quick read for yourself or in introducing a delightful mystery for a younger person, I do recommend this historical novel, "The Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll" by Scott Peters, to all middle grade readers or adults who may enjoy a quick, historical mystery. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11066118-mystery-of-the-egyptian-scroll-kid-detective-zet-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11066118-mystery-of-the-egyptian-scroll-kid-detective-zet-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
