Om denne e-bog
A laugh-out-loud, edge-of-your-seat time-travel adventure perfect for fans of The Last Last-Day-of-Summer and City Spies from NYT bestseller, Kyrstal Sutherland.
Twins Pearl and Patrick are no ordinary twelve-year-olds. They’re geniuses, hiding in plain sight, who pull heists all over the world to further their scientific and historical research. Their criminal activity, including grand theft auto, B&E and even espionage, have made them a regular nuisance to both the CIA and MI6. But it’s all been worth it. They’ve finally achieved their greatest triumph: time travel. Pearl’s Chrono-Loop can take the twins anywhere! Their first stop ancient: Egypt where they even get to see King Tut!
But when they return home, they’re arrested by T.I.M.E.— The Interdimensional Misconduct Enquiry—a secret organization charged with maintaining the timeline. Turns out Pearl and Patrick didn’t invent time travel—that happened two hundred years ago! And what Pearl did in ancient Egypt—killing a mosquito—could have rewritten history as we know it if not for T.I.M.E agents stepping in.
Punishment for disrupting the timeline is normally 100 years in the Eternal Abyss. But T.IM.E., impressed by the pair, offer them a chance to become agents. Unfortunately, they fail their entrance exam, and instead are banned from ever attempting time travel again. Pearl is infuriated and when she’s offered another chance at time travel from a rival organization, Pearl can’t resist. Too late, she realizes she’s been tricked and unwittingly plays a hand in replacing the timeline they know with a nightmarish scenario.
Now Pearl and Patrick must fix their mistake. But the only way to save the future is to go back to the past to enlist the true inventor of time travel for their help.

Om forfatteren
After marrying in late 2019, Krystal Sutherland and Martin Seneviratne immediately decided to put their vows to the test by collaborating on their debut middle grade series, Time Lions. Martin’s childhood was infused with his grandmother’s magical tales of Sri Lanka’s history and mythology. On a visit to Sigirya, the ancient rock fortress in the heart of Sri Lanka’s jungles, Krystal and Martin began to craft this story of the genius Amarasinghe twins and their adventure back through time. It explores overlooked parts of history and the overlooked geniuses who shape it.
