Review
 

Sara Bogus is twelve years old and loves adventure, at least she does when it comes to the books she likes to read. Sara finds a emerald ring in her grandmothers attic and tries it on(well wouldn't you) only now its stuck on her finger and won't come off.

Sara's ring once belonged to Cleopatra and has mystical qualities that makes her hear voices and dreams of strange and terrifying things.
This is a great book and reminded me of the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan.
