TweetReviews
This book is very exciting and you learn about Egyptian history at the same time.
My favourite character is Sim who is the main character. Sim and his Mum can time travel and they end up with Jeopardy who is Sims cousin. A lot of the chapters end on a cliff-hanger which means you want to read more.
I liked how you can know about ancient Egypt but in a fun way I would recommend for any budding egyptoligyst and historian
I liked it because it was dramatic and exciting.
I found this book very nice as it's about music and time travelling, two things that I really like. This is a book about betrayal and unexpected twists, that keeps the reader entertained all throughout.
I enjoyed the bit at the end when they escaped Egypt
I love this book because of it Egyptian theme I recommend it to 7-12.
This book was a great book it hab lost of sad moments and confusing moments but it also taught me alot about the Egyptian and inspired me to learn more about them
