Parent Guide
When twins Scarlett and Sam argue over who will ask the Four Questions at the seder, their grandmother explains that the story of the Exodus connects the Jewish people through the centuries, the way her old Persian carpet is woven into a whole from many threads. The children suddenly find themselves flying back in time on the carpet to the time of Moses and the Pharaoh — back to the Exodus from Egypt. This is a light time-travel novel that really brings the Passover story to life. There is plenty to amuse kids, like the sibling rivalry between Moses and Pharaoh and the kids’ podcasting from ancient Egypt, but there is also some poignancy. This is a fun, informative, and very kid-friendly choice for younger readers.

Good if you like Percy Jackson themes
Twins Scarlett and Sam are going to have dinner at their grandmother's house. She always says her antique carpet was woven by magic. They had always thought that carpet was weird but what happened next was even weirder than that. I think that this book starts a bit slowly. However If you like Percy Jackson you will probably like this book because both books tie together ancient and modern.
