Courtnee Turner Hoyle for Readers’ Favorite: "This book will grab readers within the first few pages. Coline Monsarrat has created the start of an epic series with glimpses into Egyptian society, including powerful riddles, and a heart-stopping adventure!"

They’re just kids! How can they possibly save an entire civilization, foil their enemies, outsmart gods, and keep from strangling each other?

In a daring twist of fate, 13-year-old best friends Aria and Liam are catapulted back in time to a 3,000-year-old Egyptian kingdom.

While Aria embraces the thrill of ancient adventures alongside Asim, a local boy on a secret mission, and Atlas, a sagacious donkey, Liam struggles without modern comforts.

Their journey, far from a typical escapade, quickly escalates into a high-stakes quest. They must navigate treacherous challenges, from evading dangerous gods and divine creatures to solving life-or-death riddles, all to save Pharaoh Ramesses II's kingdom.

But as the fate of an ancient civilization hangs in the balance, they face an even greater dilemma: what will their success mean for the future, and how will they return to their own time?

This middle-grade action-packed adventure is full of twists and turns, humor mixed with frightening situations that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Aria & Liam is a series of standalone middle-grade books allowing young readers to enjoy each adventure in any order they wish.
