The Eye of Nefertiti is an adventure for young readers, a crazy story full of Egyptian mummies, ghosts and curses, told in a caricaturesque and witty style, packed with images and action. The heroes are Thea, i.e., Athenea von Hammerstein and Mehdi Firat, two children at the age of twelve who have to return the spirit of Nefertiti to her sarcophagus from where, unable to rest, she has escaped and hijacked the body of Thea’s mother. Thea is the youngest offspring of a line of famous archeologists; Mehdi is the son of Thea’s governess, and it happens to be a Turkish good-witch. Both children receive a message in Berlin where they are living, in the early twenties of the past century.
