Aliya to the Infinite City Synopsis

A sparkling magical debut, set in a fantastical Egypt full of flying carpets and mythical creatures!

Aliya's grandfather is her only family, but lately he has been acting strangely. He's forgotten her birthday and keeps disappearing.

So when a mysterious gift arrives that seems to grant her wishes, Aliya uncovers a secret - she's from a long line of illustrious time travellers.

Whisked off by flying carpet to the Infinite City in a parallel Egypt, Aliya enrols at an extraordinary academy where she makes new friends at last.

But the threat of magic is looming - rumours of the return of Dorian Dark, a devious master of time. And with Aliya's special skills, he can twist history forever .

I was gripped from the very first sentence and simply couldn’t put the book down until I’d finished it.

I lived and breathed this brilliant story!

I didn’t read Aliya to the Infinite City… I lived and breathed it!!! Laila Rifaat has such an incredible way with words that she transports you straight inside this story from the very first page, allowing you to travel along aside her characters and experience their journey firsthand. I was gripped from the very first sentence and simply couldn’t put the book down until I’d finished it - despite the fact that I’d only intended to read a chapter or two at the time. Laila’s imagination is out of this world. The storyline is so well thought out, the humour is hilarious, and the characters are perfect for middle grade. This is a book every child will cherish and want to read over and over again.... Read Full Review
