The Curse of Time is #3 in the Time Twisters series about Luis, Casey, and Tyler and their travels to 1920 Egypt with their robot cat, Steel. They use Nikola Tesla’s Time Twister as they try to help Uncle Cyrus, who is trapped in time and leaves clues along the way. The three adventurers encounter a curse, a mummy, Anubis and an archaeologist intent on fame along the way. This adventure is well-written and leaves the reader wondering what is next when the last sentences of the book say “Smoke drifted from Steel’s ears. His eyes glowed red and a voice whispered Luis’s name.” Oh, my gosh…the story can’t end this way…what is next?
This book is a fun, fast paced read for struggling readers and will keep them in suspense along the way. Cartoon-like illustrations enhance the text. Recommended
