When Max and Tilly arrived in Pickleberry Falls that summer, they had no idea they would have....
A PROPER ADVENTURE IN EGYPT!
'A Lovely illustrated children's book!' ~ Celestial Quill Press.
When Max and Tilly arrive at Granny Maple’s cosy cottage in Pickleberry Falls, they expect the usual sort of holiday magic — warm biscuits, bedtime stories, muddy garden adventures, and Sir Bark-A-Lot getting into at least a little bit of trouble. But Granny Maple has something far more extraordinary waiting for them: an old family album, a twinkle in her eye, and a secret about her seven beloved sisters, who are living in remarkable places across Egypt.
Each sister has left behind a rhyming clue, and soon Max, Tilly, Granny Maple, and Sir Bark-A-Lot are swept into a beautifully illustrated journey through golden sands, ancient pyramids, bustling markets, moonlit temples, shimmering riverbanks, and hidden corners full of wonder. With every clue, the children are invited to look closely, think carefully, and follow the sparkle — because in this family, adventure is never quite where you expect it, and magic often begins with a wink from Granny.
Along the way, Max and Tilly discover that the Seven Sparkly Sisters are not simply names in an album. Each aunt has her own story, her own place in the world, and her own little piece of family magic to share. Full of warmth, curiosity, culture, humour, and heart, this enchanting first book invites young readers to search, notice, laugh, wonder, and dream their way through Egypt — one sparkly clue at a time.
