The Amulet is the sequel to Two Children and It, which first introduced readers to the mysterious sand-fairy creature called the Psammead. Don't worry if you haven't read Two Children and It yet - The Amulet stands alone as well.
This time, the Psammead joins the children on a journey across a magical backdrop in a search for their favorite and beloved pet - guided by an ancient amulet. Traveling through time, the youngsters experience a number of exploits first hand -- they make friends with an Egyptian, introduce a sea captain to a compass, and help place a major archeological find in a museum.
