Join the four children on an exciting summer adventure in a white house, nestled between a sandpit and a chalkpit. Their encounter with the Psammead in a pet shop in Camden Town marks the beginning of a magical quest. Guided by a magic amulet, the children travel to ancient Egypt and Babylon, where the Queen of Babylon visits London, bringing her ancient customs with her. They also explore Atlantis and meet Julius Caesar. What will happen to them if they forget the 'word of power' or lose the amulet?
