Don't Tut at this book

I read this book and enjoyed it, so much that I jumped at the chance of re' living the story. I am glad I did because I think I enjoyed it even more the second time round, even knowing what was coming. This is book six book in this very enjoyable time travel series and once again the Baxter siblings find themselves in the past and stuck in three very different situations. I love the way the author always seems to come up with new and fun ways to explain what the world was like in the past. There is always a lot going in the adventure to keep it entertaining and with all the research that goes into each book you even learn something. Sometimes more than you want to know, in this case the embalming process but with the added humour it was a fun scene to listen too, if not imagine. The Baxter siblings are great characters and despite hanging out with royalty are down to earth and likeable. I liked the reason they were stuck in this timeline and the resulting consequence, this does mean the story jumps around but it is all weaved together nicely in the end, as each jump gets wrapped and explained. Just a good book no matter what the age of the reader and I can't wait for the next book and adventure.
The museum is missing another key piece of history and this time the Baxter family are heading back to Egypt to the time of Tutankhamun. At first the time machine sends them back to the discovery of his tomb but the machine hiccups and the children get sent back to when the boy Prince became king. Can they survive ancient Egypt long enough for there uncle to fix the machine and find them again? Especially when the children get separated, Lucy gets to live out her time like a queen but her brothers have to find there role in society by working. Which could prove difficult with the machine bouncing them around to different type periods and if battling crocodiles weren't enough nobody actually knows what artefact is missing.
I liked the narrator. She sounded very English when I first started listening but I soon got swept up in the adventure by her voice and the story, which just came alive the more you listened.
