About the Book

Reeya Rai and her friend Finlay discover a priceless ivory peacock in a cave near the Roman site her parents are studying, and Reeya must come up with a way to retrieve the nearly inaccessible artefact before the greedy Dr. Acker finds it.

Book Synopsis

While her parents are studying an ancient settlement in Italy, Reeya Rai and her friend Finlay discover a nearby cave. Inside, they find evidence that a priceless, jewel-studded figurine of an ivory peacock may be nearby. Excited, Reeya and her family decide to explore the cave, where they find the priceless artifact hidden deep inside. But there's one problem: it sits on a ledge across a wide crevasse that's too far to jump across. Even worse, their rival, Dr. Acker, is also searching the caves for the precious figurine. Will Reeya invent something to safely retrieve the ivory peacock before Dr. Acker finds it?
