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 New York Times bestseller Krystal 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 and espionage has made them a regular nuisance
to both the CIA and MI5. 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 in time! Their first
stop: ancient Egypt where they even get to see King Tut! But when they return home they’re
arrested by TIME—The Interdimensional Misconduct Enquiry—a secret organization charged with
maintaining the timeline. Turns out Pearl and Patrick didn’t invent time travel after all—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 TIME agents stepping in. Punishment for
disrupting the timeline is 100 years in the Eternal Abyss. But TIME impressed by the pair
offers them a chance to become agents. Unfortunately they fail their entrance exam and instead
are banned from ever attempting time travel again. Pearl is furious and when she’s offered
another chance at time travel by a rival organization she takes it! Too late she realizes
she’s been tricked and unwittingly plays a part in replacing the timeline they know with a
nightmarish scenario. Now Pearl and Patrick must clean up the mess they’ve made. But to
restore the timeline they have to go back to the beginning—to Lion Rock—to convince the real
inventor of time travel to help them save time and the world. In this electric time travel
adventure steeped in unexplored Sri Lankan history these whiz kids use their book smarts and a
healthy dose of girl power to fight the ultimate villain.
