Is it any wonder that she makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur? One day, three schoolmates show up at her doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. She can get herself out of this.

Story
For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys” - orphans owned by chimney sweeps - to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived - and a girl. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature - a golem - made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.

Story
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

The Series is Addicting
Any additional comments?
This book is the first of four. It seemed to start out slow, and I was not sold on it at all. By the end of the book I had overcome some of my early reservations, and was willing to give the rest of the series a shot. It gets progressively better, and is increasingly charming throughout! By the third book it really seemed as though the author was hitting her stride. I highly recommend it.Moreover: What gives, Audible?? Book four has been out for years, and there's no audiobook? Please, please, please get on it!

Delightful and precocious
If you could sum up Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos in three words, what would they be?
Funny, educational, absorbing
What was one of the most memorable moments of Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos?
The climax where Theodosia is facing the Serpents of Chaos in the pyramid.
Any additional comments?
I like good children's books, they usually have a level of humour that adults pick up . This one is just beautiful.

What a wonderful, exciting book! I listened with my 7 and 11 year old boys and loved it as much as they did. It’s part historical, part Egyptian mythology, part mystery and pure joy to listen to. The narrator is just delightful! We are currently on the 3rd book in the series.

Great Book for Homeschool!
We listened to this book as a part of our homeschool curriculum while studying ancient Egypt. The book was not only a fantastic and engaging story with a stellar main character, it also brought to life a lot of what we studied. This is the perfect tie-in for anyone wanting their kids to engage with history.
Theodosia is a well written character who is tenacious, curious, and has interests outside of those “normal” 11 years old have. This is great for kids who may have similar traits. The negative is that she spends a lot of the book lying to her parents and sneaking around, but she’s doing it for the greater good. There is nuance in her relationship with her parents, which gave plenty of opportunities for discussion.
I listened to this with my 7 and 8 year olds. They were able to follow along and enjoyed the plot, but it probably would have been too advanced in both language and concepts for an independent read. We had to pause to discuss words and give context fairly often.
Overall I would highly recommend this book. We’ve tried both the physical copy and the audiobook, and the audiobook really shines for the fantastic narration.

what a find this was
Would you consider the audio edition of Theodesia and the Serpents of Chaos to be better than the print version?
yes the story is excellent and told in an intelligent way to its target audience whom many books patronize. The language and the decidedly odd heroine are a pleasure to read, but ms parrys performance is stellar I must say
What other book might you compare Theodesia and the Serpents of Chaos to, and why?
Maybe the wardstone chronicles which also feature a distinctive heroine Alice, and don't talk down to the young audience

What an amazing voice she has! The narration is just brilliant. The story is very exciting but leaves few surprises for a 30'something such as myself but for younger listeners I think it will keep them on the edge of their seat for the whole journey from beginning to end.

Egyptian magic rules
Theodosia actually lives with her parents but they are always at the museum and as a result, she has discovered an ability to detect curses. She is protecting the museum and her family from the curses that they bring back from Egypt. This time she has discovered a curse that even she can't break... well not in the usual way. The chaos that ensues brings her together with her brother and brings the Egyptian Gods clearly to this world and shows magic in a different way.
Wonderful characters, brilliant story and engaging times. The turn in the middle seemed a little different and had me confused a couple of times but it made sense.
