Why a Booktrail?
Poppy Pym grew up in circus and loves to solve a mystery!
Poppy Pym and the Pharoah’s Curse
What you need to know before your trail
Poppy Pym has grown up in the circus, taming lions before lunch and learning acrobatics in the afternoon. But when she turns eleven, her circus family decides she needs a more traditional education, and she is sent to boarding school. At first Poppy doesn’t fit in at St Smithen’s, a school that is very different from the circus. Then, an ancient Egyptian ruby arrives at school and dangerous accidents start occurring. Suddenly it’s up to Poppy to save her new school and solve the mystery of the Pharaoh’s curse!

ResetTravel Guide
Oxford
Miss Pyms School and Circus are obviously fictional but since the author lives in Oxford and co-owns the we’ve placed it somewhere near Oxford and marked a theatre on the map as well as what we think St Smithens might look like.
Egypt
There is also a lot of Egyptian history in this and so Egypt appears on the booktrail so you can visit these themes a little more and explore without going to the theatre or Egypt!
