Children's Book Review: Tashi and the Royal Tomb, by Anna Fienberg & Barbara Fienberg
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

The tenth Tashi book.




There is great excitement when an ancient burial site is uncovered in Tashi's village. Tashi manages to get a job helping the team of archaeologists. But, as always, the wicked Baron has plans for the site - and he wants Tashi out of the way.

Later, the precious Book of Spells is stolen from Wise-as-an-Owl, and no one can be cured unless Tashi can find it. Of course, who else would be foolish and selfish enough to steal the book, but the ever-scheming Baron?

This is the tenth Tashi book, written by the mother-daughter team of Anna and Barbara Fienberg and illustrated by the talented Kim Gamble. Kids love the tall tales of this brave and resourceful boy from a mysterious far-off land.

If Tashi isn't in your home yet, now might be the time.
