The Carnelian Game

What if you found a dusty old carpet under your bed and it turned out to be magic? What if you were given the opportunity to save an entire village in Egypt from disease and starvation? What if you could join eleven other riders and carpets to compete in the fiercely competitive Global Magic Carpet Games? Well, it’s all possible when you join a boy named Desmond and his magic carpet Mariah, on the adventure of a lifetime.

The Carnelian Game is an adventure novel written for middle-grade kids to adults. It is full of fascinating facts about ancient Egypt and takes the reader deep into the tunnels of ancient pyramids. Together, we visit the tombs of pharaohs and a mysterious world reaching back in time thousands of years.

It is a wonderful book to read aloud to kids around eight or nine years old. A chapter a night makes a great bedtime story. Children ten years old and beyond should be able to read it independently.
