Epic blockbusting adventure meets the mystery of time travel in Hunt for the Golden Scarab, the first title of the Time Keys series by M. G. Leonard, bestselling, award-winning author of Beetle Boy, Twitch, Adventures on Trains, and The Ice Children.

Sim and his mum never live anywhere long. When dangerous strangers appear one night, Sim discovers why. His mum has been keeping secrets: she has the power to open doors in time.

Running for their lives, Sim and his friends are determined to outwit the sinister Council of Keys and be the first to find Nefertitiโ€™s lost tomb and a powerful door to Ancient Egypt. They must piece together long-hidden clues if they are to solve the mystery of her golden heart scarab. Can they find it before the Council finds them?

M. G. Leonard has made up stories since she was a little girl, but back then adults called them lies or tall tales and she didnโ€™t write them down. As a grown up, she has written stories about fantastical beetles, beautiful birds and thrilling train rides. Her books have been translated into over forty languages and won many awards. She is the vice president of the insect charity Buglife, and a founding author of Authors4Oceans. She lives in England, by the sea, with her husband, two sons, a dog called Nell, and a variety of exotic beetles. She is the bestselling writer of childrenโ€™s books such as The Ice Children, Beetle Boy, the Adventures on Trains series and The Twitchers books.
