Time Guardians: The Library on Fire - Book 1 (Signed copy)

Ebook and Audiobook available at Amazon.com

History is in danger… and the only heroes who can save it are four kids in detention. 

Max thought detention would be the worst part of his day. He was wrong.

When Max and his friends are sent to detention with their mysterious new school counselor, Dr. Quill, they expect a boring lecture. Instead, the strange doctor gives them a pop quiz using an ancient-looking compass.

But the compass isn’t just an artifact.

It’s a time travel device.

Before they can even understand what’s happening, Max and his friends are suddenly hurled thousands of years into the past—landing in ancient Alexandria, Egypt—and things are going very wrong.

The Romans are laying siege to the city. The legendary Library of Alexandria is about to burn. And a group of masked ninja thieves has arrived with one goal: steal a mysterious artifact known as the Scroll of Ages.

Now Max and his friends must race through chaotic markets, dodge suspicious guards, and uncover a hidden chamber beneath the great library—all while trying to stop the thieves and figure out how to get back home.

Because if the wrong people get their hands on the Scroll of Ages…history itself could change forever.

Packed with action, humor, and thrilling adventures through history, Time Guardians launches an unforgettable series where four ordinary kids discover that protecting the past may be the only way to save the future.

Perfect for fans of Magic Tree House, Percy Jackson, and The Last Kids on Earth.
