Description du livre
Adventure, mystery, history, and humour collide in this rollicking, rip-roaring caper from the world’s favourite storyteller.
Time-traveling orphans Pew and Basket Church just barely escaped the clutches of the evil Pirate Macaulay (pretty much the worst guy ever) and spoiled his plans for world domination (he wasn’t thrilled, to say the least). But even more shocking than discovering they must protect time itself They’ve learned that somewhere—or somewhen— they have a long-lost family member.
Chasing clues left behind by their time-traveler parents, the twins hope to find their elusive relative in ancient Egypt. Except they land splat in the middle of a deadly plot against Cleopatra (yes, that Cleopatra). To save new friends and the future, the twins will need to solve tricky puzzles, escape gnarly traps, and thwart dastardly schemes. But if they manage to survive (a big if ), they might find a treasure worth more than any pyramid’s gold.
History has never been funnier than in this adventure, packed with great escapes, intriguing mysteries, and plenty of clever twists.
