Overview

When Feather, a rescued ten pound chihuahua, loses her human mother to cancer, her life comes to a grinding halt. After months of mourning and yearning, Feather awakens from a dream where the ancient Egyptian God, Anubis, claims to have an urgent message from her mom from the afterlife. Only by solving his complex and layered riddle will she be able to receive her mother's words. Feather flies to Egypt and visits key historical sites, including the Tomb of Tutankhamun, The Great Pyramid of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, uncovering clue after clue. There she is mistaken for a cherished deity, encounters several terrifying beasts, and meets Dr. Hawass, the world's foremost Egyptologist and archaeologist. With perseverance and intrepid sleuthing skills, and the help of kind Egyptians along the way, Feather pieces together the riddle. With the final clue, she discovers a life-altering revelation that forever changes her views of love, loss and magic.
