About this ebook
Lottie loves the British Museum's Great Library and all the beautiful books that fill it. But the money hungry Head Curator wants to sell all of the ancient books to the highest bider. The missing scroll of Alexandria is the only thing that can prove that the books must stay in the museum. Can Lottie, Great Uncle Bert and Reg the caretaker follow the clues and track down the missing scroll before it's too late?
Perfect for developing and newly confident middle grade readers, Lottie Lipton Adventures are packed with action, and puzzles for the reader to solve. Featuring a courageous heroine (with a hint of Indiana Jones about her), children will love these historical adventures.

Lottie!
The cry echoed around the great halls of the British Museum. Lottie turned to look for the source and gulped. She darted into the next hall, past a group of tourists and into the library, where she bumped into her Great Uncle Bert.
