Time Meddlers on the Nile


Book Description

One of Canada’s top scientists has discovered the secret to time travel. But everything has gone wrong. Thirteen-year-old Matt Barnes and Sarah Sachs, while attempting to rescue Matt's father from multiple universes, face an even more challenging obstacle: the erasure of their own timeline. What can they do before they, themselves, are erased? Somewhere along the Nile the two teens must prevent the ultimate meddling during the time of Nubian pharaohs and princes, palaces and temples to rival the ancient Egyptians and fearsome desert raiders. They must puzzle out the moment and event where Matt's father or his arch nemesis, Nadine, interfered with history. If they don't, it could mean the end of time as we know it, or a never-ending loop of time. Warning: You must have a strong stomach to read this book, as it is sprinkled with the occasional mummified remains. “Time Meddlers on the Nile is an entertaining blend of historical fiction and science fiction that will appeal to readers of both genres” ─Kerri Hutchinson, CM Magazine “I really love this series. So so much. But this was by far my favourite book. I loved: The character development. Their growth moves right along with the story, yet not always doing things you expect. Which is nice, even as an adult I never found the story to be predictable. Anyone of any age can love these books.” ─Unorthodox Mama Kidlit Reviews * Time Meddlers is Recommended in The Children’s Literature Review and Canadian Teacher Magazine
