  <default_description>Theodosia Throckmorton has her hands full at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in London. Her father may be head curator, but it is Theo&amp;#8212;and only Theo&amp;#8212;who is able to see all the black magic and ancient curses that still cling to the artifacts in the museum.   When Theo&amp;#8217;s mother returns from her latest archaeological dig bearing the Heart of Egypt&amp;#8212;a legendary amulet belonging to an ancient tomb&amp;#8212;Theo learns that it comes inscribed with a curse so black and vile that it threatens to crumble the British Empire from within and start a war too terrible to imagine.   Intent on returning the malevolent artifact to its rightful place, Theo devises a daring plan to put things right. But even with the help of her younger brother, a wily street urchin, and the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Chosen Keepers, it won&amp;#8217;t be easy . . . she quickly finds herself pursued down dark alleys, across an ocean, through the bustling crowds of Cairo, and straight into the heart of an ancient mystery. Theo will have to call upon everything she&amp;#8217;s ever learned in order to prevent the rising chaos from destroying her country&amp;#8212;and herself!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm really torn on this one.  I thought the &quot;story&quot; and plot of this book was incredible, but I think it needed some more editing.  Theodosia is clever and quite independent, taking after her mother for sure.  But the way she's treated by her parents just doesn't seem to jive.  They ignore...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13306986">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well, usually I don't summarize anything that takes place more than 100 pages in, but this book took more than that to really get to the point, and the official book information gives more away, so here I go:<br/><br/>Theodosia has grown up in London's Egyptian Museum, and spent her whole life the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9421249">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Deep in the basement of London's Museum of Legends and Antiquities, newly unearthed treasures wait to be prepared for exhibit or to unleash their evil curse... it all depends on the artifact.

    <body><![CDATA[Theodosia Throckmorton practically lives in the museum. Her parents work there and they're so caught up in their work, finding and studying ancient Egyptian artifacts, that they leave her on her own a lot. Luckily, Theo has plenty to keep her busy. There's the curses for one thing. Nearly every arti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6963405">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I saw this come through at the library and I figured, I like stuff about ancient Egypt.  I was hoping it would be like some other middle grade novels I've read recently where I could enjoy it even as an adult.  However, this was clearly written for children.  It was a fun story but I got a bit too m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71560874">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very entertaining book in the same vein (and time period) as Sherlock Holmes.  Centered around an 11 year old girl whose parents are Head Curators and Archaeologists in London.  The book was a mix between Harry Potter (Theodosia has some unique abilities that others do not) and A Series of Unfortuna...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47385334">more...</a>]]></body>
