Similar to books like I Survived, A to Z Mysteries, and The Magic Treehouse, The Sundial Odysseys take you on quirky adventures through the past, where historical figures who shaped the world we live in today receive help from three young cousins. Amelia, Dave, and Luther's grandfather is the world's most famous explorer; and the kids are about to find out why. When they knock over his antique sundial one afternoon, they're suddenly transported to the other side of the world…and 3,000 years into the past. They find themselves in a dangerous and strange world. Everyone carries a spear, and dresses in bed sheets; there are enemies at every turn. No one can tell them how they got there, or how to get back. Soon they're accused of being spies and taken captive. To make matters worse, the sundial is now counting down their time left, and that it's running out fast. Can the kids figure out how to get back home, or will they be trapped in the past? Join Amelia, Dave, and Luther in the first Sundial Odyssey, The Desert Queen, a family friendly adventure exploring cultures through history.
