The Sphinx That Forgot To Smile

What if your garden shed was secretly a time machine?

William and Ella-Rose are just two normal kids from York… until their rickety old shed starts humming, glowing, and unexpectedly spits them out in Ancient Egypt.

Now, they’re dodging crocodiles, figuring out hierogyphics, and trying (badly) to stop a villain who wants to steal the River Nile.

Armed with a notebook, a bit of nerve, and zero clue what they’re doing, the Time Travel Kids are about to make history – by accident.

The Sphinx That Forgot To Smile is Book 1 in the Time Travel Kids series – a funny, fast-paced, history twisting adventure for fans of Beast Quest, Magic Tree House, and Who Let The Gods Out?
