    While visiting a museum, Jennifer discovers an ancient Egyptian mummy. Behind the mummy is a painting of a
    woman that looks almost identical to her and has the name Dje-Nefer.

    While there, her grandmother’s friend, Daoud gives her an amulet. When she opens it up, the dust inside sends
    her back in time and switches her place with that of Dje-Nefer! She soon discovers a plot to assassinate
    Hatchepsut.

    Will Jennifer find a way to save the queen and make it back to her own time?

    This is a fast-paced time travel adventure; the plot is intriguing and the characters are unique and well-developed.
    THE AMULET OF AMON-RA is a great blend of science and historical fiction. Readers who enjoy science
    fiction, historical fiction, adventure, and stories with action and mystery will all highly enjoy reading this book.
