A teen/young adult fantasy book that is both exciting and enjoyable. The story centers around two very opposite twins who are best friends. They are lovers of the museum but are suddenly pulled into a great adventure whent heir friend and mentor is attacked. They find themselves drawn into the middle of a secret society. Will they be able to stop the villians from altering history and therby changing the present and the future? These two early teens are in for an adventure of a life time. ( ) I received this book as an ARC from Smith Publicity, Inc., and am providing an honest review. Eleven-year-old twins Edward and Anastasia live in Washington, DC, where they pass by the Smithsonian Institution on their way home from school every day. They often pop into the Natural History Museum for a visit, and they have become friends with Dr. Gregorian (Dr. G), curator at that museum. On one visit, they walk in on Dr. G as he returns from traveling back in time through a Refractium Crystal, and the twins are soon involved with Dr. G’s Order of Time, a group of museum curators around the world who fight against the Corsairs, who are out to disrupt time and change history for their own nefarious purposes. When Dr. G is injured by a falling sarcophagus in a confrontation with the Corsairs, the twins must travel back in time to ancient Egypt in the time of Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. They need to thwart the plot devised by the Corsairs to eliminate the Pharaoh and his queen, and so to change history. I loved the heroism of the young protagonists, and the way the author presents history in a fun manner for young readers. Anastasia is the twin who studies martial arts and is ready to defend herself and her brother when the Egyptian bad guys appear. Edward is the intellectual one, who knows the history and comes up with ideas that impress Egyptian royals and the group of boys with whom they join forces. The Order of Time is just scary enough to keep a middle grades reader on the edge of her seat, and the characters are down to earth enough that a young reader can identify with them, while riding along on a great adventure through time and learning some ancient history along the way. I wish this book had been around when I was a kid. Maybe I can go back in time. . .. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Anastasia and Edward Upton are eleven years old twins who are different in almost every way. Despite this they are inseparable and the best of friends. They tackle the highs and lows of sixth grade together whether they are fending off bullies at the elite Blake Academy or examining rare antiquities as the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Then: life gets complicated.They discover that their friend and mentor, Dr. Gregorian, is part of a secret society called the Order of Time. It turns out that time is not fixed, it's a fluid continuum where changes to the past can create ripples all the way through to the present. It unwittingly falls to the twins to travel back through time to ancient Egypt where they must overcome deadly assassins, evil high priests and vengeful gods in order to prevent disaster. Together Anastasia and Edward must navigate all obstacles to preserve the past and find their way back home. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
