    About this ebook

    Welcome to the British Museum, home to Lottie Lipton: nine-year-old investigator extraordinaire!

    Lottie loves living in the museum with Great Uncle Bert but, when the Golden Cat of Cairo disappears at the launch of a new exhibition, Lottie's home is under threat. Can Lottie, Great Uncle Bert and Reg the caretaker follow the clues and find the ancient Egyptian cat in time, or will Lottie lose her home forever?

    Perfect for developing and newly confident middle grade readers, Lottie Lipton Adventures are packed with action, and puzzles for the reader to solve. With a courageous heroine (with a hint of Indiana Jones about her), children will love these historical adventures.

      Dear reader,

      I am seven years old. I love detective stories more than any other story and this is my favourite book in the Lottie Lipton series.

    The Curse of the Cairo Cat A Lottie Lipton Adventure - Dan Metcalf

    A-Maze-ing!

    Chapter One

    London, 1928

    Lottie burst through the heavy oak doors and into the darkened corridor.

    Hide … Got to hide! she whispered, her eyes darting about for a suitable place to conceal herself. Along each side of the darkened corridor were glass cabinets and display cases, filled with ancient trinkets and artefacts.

    He was next to her now. Her heart beat loudly as she curled herself into a ball, desperate not to be found. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for the moment to come…

    Suddenly, the entire corridor was flooded with light.

    Lottie sighed with disappointment. She had been enjoying playing hide and seek. She crawled out from her hiding place and smiled up at the seeker, a rotund gentleman with white hair, dressed in a shabby linen suit.

    I win! she declared. Honestly Uncle Bert, I was right next to you.

    "Not
