A boy, his beloved Egyptologist Grandpa, a dig for forgotten treasure.
Young Boyd’s grandfather "Grumpy" was once a famous Egyptologist and museum curator, but now his memory has crumbled like the ruins of ancient Egypt.
Has he forgotten a secret treasure that the world desperately wants to uncover? Charm, humour, mystery... and the special love that a grandchild shares with a grandparent.
Can a young grandson save an archaeologist’s secrets from the sands of forgetfulness by taking him each day to the museum?
