The Time Travel Twins: The Pharaoh’s Tomb





In the second book in the thrilling series, the Church twins head back in time to Ancient Egypt on the trail of family secrets and their nemesis.

Time-traveling twins chase time's greatest villain—and a shocking family mystery—to Ancient Egypt in this high stakes, hilarious, and action-packed thrill ride from No.1 bestselling author James Patterson.

Orphans Pew and Basket Church barely managed to escape the clutches of time’s greatest villain and dash his hopes of world domination last time (he didn’t take too kindly to that).

But even more shocking than discovering they can travel through time? It turns out the Church family treasure their enigmatic time-traveling parents left behind is actually a long-lost relative.

The twins follow clues and riddles to Ancient Egypt—and land right in the middle of a deadly power struggle between Cleopatra and her brother, Ptolemy. To save their new friends and preserve history, the twins will need to solve riddles and thwart the dastardly Pirate Macaulay’s evil plans. If they manage to survive, they just might find the one treasure more precious and elusive to them than anything: family.

Adventure, mystery, history, and humour collide in this rollicking, rip-roaring caper from the world’s favourite storyteller.
