While Sam (Samsuluna) and Amata experience adventures in Egypt, Crete, Cyprus, and Phoenicia, their friend Enlil remains in Babylonia to help with his parents’ bakery. When punching down batches of dough doesn’t provide Enlil with the adventure he longs to see, he teams up with a new friend, Deebee, to defeat Mari spies infiltrating Babylon.
Enlil and Deebee steal a golden seal, decode Mari clay tablets, and leave deceptive tablet message of their own. Will they bring down the ring of Mari spies, or will their adventures lead to disaster?

From the author: I was recently asked why I wrote this book. Here is my response:
“I wrote Enlil’s Adventures: Clay Tablets & Mari spies, book 3 of the Ancient Elements series, to engross 10 to 14-olds in a fun, fast-paced adventure that places them in the historical setting of ancient Babylon. Ancient Mesopotamia is a social studies curriculum strand for this age group in many states. This series makes an ancient subject come alive. As readers get wrapped up with the story’s characters finding a spy’s tablet, decoding it, and then leaving their own deceptive message, I hope to instill within students a love for using their wits to solve the mysteries of things they don’t understand.”
