"Think Indiana Jones with a big serving of steampunk and a delicious helping of archaeology, and you have the second thrills-and-spills adventure in bestselling author Vashti Hardy's fantastic world-building Relic Hunters series ... With her prodigiously inventive imagination and storytelling talents, Hardy delivers another reading treasure with action at every turn, the richly detailed illustrations of Rebecca Sheerin, and an adorable cast of characters as we step into a spectacular steampunk world of wonders and fantastical technology." - Sheffield Star "For those of you planning a chase against time across a desert, you might want to consider getting hold of one of the more inventive modes of transport I've come across: mechanical robot camels ... Be prepared to find a treasure beyond belief, be sucked down a vortex and be saved by a friendly family of sand foxes - and plenty of evil doings by the treacherously greasy Byron." - The Letterpress Project "Marvellously melding a classic quest adventure with steam-punk vibes ... Bursting with cliff-hangers, clues, secrets and symbols, and further enlivened by Rebecca Sheerin's illustrations, The Amulet of Hath is a treasure trove of trickery, tension, drama and plot-driving dialogue." - LoveReading4Kids "A real feel of a blockbuster told in just over 100 pages ... Alongside the cliff hangers, drama and thrills there is a wise message about that the real 'treasure' in life being people, particularly family." - A Library Lady, blog "Steampunk fantasy, archaeology and technology combine in a thrilling race to discover the secrets of an ancient treasure ... another wonderfully imaginative, action-packed Indiana-Jones-esque adventure with a brilliant blend of archaeology, steampunk and technology from ancient relics to robotic camels ... perfect for young adventurers of 9+." - Book Craic, blogMore details
