What to expect
The Timekeepers are a secret organisation of kids who keep the course of history on track – and history needs them – a villain called DeLay is causing chaos!
When the hands on their watches start to spin backwards, the Timekeepers know that DeLay has been up to no good, and it’s up to them to put things right…
In this instalment, the Timekeepers travel back to Ancient Egypt and become wrapped up in an effort to track down some medicine to heal Queen Nefertiti. It'll be a race against time, but our heroes know they're up to the challenge!
With a range of adventures that span all of history, The Timekeepers series is perfect for any adventure lover.
SJ King is the author of the Secret Explorers and Timekeepers series. King loves museums, libraries, and building machines from scrap. King can usually be found exploring - from investigating tiny bugs, to trekking up enormous mountains.
