Secrets of the Nile

If you’re reading this, it may mean I don’t exist any more. Time travel’s like that. Here today, erased tomorrow.

16-year-old Madison Bryant is escaping an awkward romance when she leaps into her friend Riley’s latest invention, a time machine, as it blasts off on its maiden voyage to Ancient Egypt. Setting down by the Nile in a swirl of sand, the pair plan to stay for a day or two and observe, not interact with anyone. But when a local girl invites them to her family home, they’re drawn into village dramas and can’t resist using future knowledge to help.

An epidemic of dental troubles? Riley introduces toothpaste to the ancient culture. The vizier’s teenage son drowning in a hippo-filled river? Maddy rescues him using life-saving techniques acquired on a Sydney beach and breaks Time Travel Rule No.1 — Don’t Mess With the Timeline!
