'When Skylar and best friend Dana accept a ride in Nana’s new tuktuk, they don’t expect to travel through time – nor to accidentally kidnap Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh King Tut and turn him into a K-pop sensation! Soon Skylar and Dana are on a whirlwind race through time to put things right before they change history for ever…'
Having already read great reviews about this book from some of my blogging friends, I was really looking forward to reading Oops, I Kidnapped A Pharaoh! and I wasn't disappointed. The book is fast paced and full of humour and excitement. With Skylar's Nana's tuk-tuk masquerading as a time-travelling machine, she and her best friend Dana unexpectedly end up on the adventure of a life-time. A trip to collect ingredients turns out to be more than nipping to the supermarket and they end up in Ancient Egypt meeting Tutankhamun! When the Egyptian King decides he needs to escape his responsibilities for a bit, he hides in the tuk-tuk and ends up in modern Britain attending a K-Pop convention! And that's only the beginning!
Readers will love exploring time travel and meeting a host of historical figures in this hilarious book that would make a great read aloud in class or at home. With themes of friendship as well as the butterfly effect to explore, the book is guaranteed to prompt some interesting discussions, not least of which would be where would you go and who would you want to meet?
Oops, I Kidnapped A Pharaoh! is a thoroughly enjoyable read that will leave readers with a big smile on their face.
