Thirteen-year-old Izzy is sent to stay with her eccentric Aunt Harriet, in Scotland, but her fears of a boring time, far from her friends, disappear when she is given a rescue cat to cheer her up. Basti, her new cat, is blind, arrogant, and far from ordinary – not quite the sweet little kitten Izzy was expecting. Izzy soon discovers that, if, unwittingly, you adopt a magical, time-travelling, black cat, things start to happen – and very odd things too. To Izzy’s surprise, the cat can talk, and even more surprisingly, the cat claims she is the Guardian of the long-dead Pharaoh, Tutankhamun, who is suddenly in grave danger. Izzy agrees to help the cat rescue the Pharaoh, and is immediately somersaulted into a world of intrigue and mystery, time travel and even encounters with the Gods of Ancient Egypt. Together, Izzy and her cat travel to Egypt. They confront dangers, solve puzzles and overcome obstacles, always barely one step ahead of their enemy - but will they win through, will they be in time to save the Pharaoh?
