Billie Smith is a typical eleven-year-old girl who loves stories about mummies, ancient Egypt and the mysteries of that region. At the same time, she’s also still a little afraid of the dark. Her father is a botanist who has been in Israel helping revive seeds found in King Herod’s tomb and trying to grow them again. Amazingly, he finds success and the Judean Date Palm is now on a world tour like a rock star. All that means to Billie is that her father is finally coming home.
The gift that her father brings her…three ancient seeds that are duds, will change the course of her life forever.
