An epic adventure! Egypt: the shimmering sun beats down on the Nile. The sands are shifting in the searing hot desert, but so is time.
The Baxters travel back a hundred years, knowing they have to be in the Valley of The Kings, when Howard Carter discovers the tomb of the Boy King, Tutankhamun. Disaster strikes, and the time machine has a problem, which means Robert, James and Lucy have an even bigger one! They find themselves stuck three thousand years ago in an ancient civilisation coming face to face with Tut and Queen Nefertiti.
How will their Uncle Archie ever find them? How will they survive in the land of many gods? The only way the children can possibly succeed is if they work to their strengths, but can they do it in a time so long ago?
Like all of the books in the series, Stuck in Time can be enjoyed by children 8+, but adults will have a fun read too!
Dave Johnson
Dave Johnson, a Pittsburgh native who moved to Georgia during childhood, grew up alongside his older sister. Although he initially discovered comics at a young age, his passion for the medium was reignited in the late 1970s, inspired by Chris Claremont and John Byrne's iconic run on The Uncanny X-Men. Citing John Byrne and Michael Golden as key influences, Johnson's artistic journey began with studying painting at the Art Institute of Atlanta. However, his focus shifted toward illustration, captivated by its ability to convey information instantly through a single image. Speaking at WonderCon in 2009, he compared this approach to designing billboards: "You have five seconds to deliver a message." This philosophy shaped his approach to comic book covers, emphasizing bold, simple designs that instantly communicate their essence.
