Coppell, TX : Salty Dog Press, 2023. 336 pages ; 22 cm. Time Travel Chronicles, The ; 1 "Sixteen-year-old Madison Bryant is escaping an awkward romance when she leaps onto the back of her friend Riley's new invention-a black and chrome motorbike - as he's taking off. It's only then she learns the bike is actually a time machine and she's now a passenger on its maiden voyage - to Ancient Egypt. Setting down by the Nile in a swirl of sand, the pair plan to stay for a couple of days and observe, not interact with anyone. But when a local girl invites them to her family home, they're drawn into the village dramas and can't resist using their future knowledge to help. An epidemic of dental troubles? Riley introduces toothpaste to the ancient culture. The vizier's son drowning in the Mile? Maddy rescues him using life-saving techniques acquired on a Sydney beach. Sure, she's read time travel stories with those warnings not to alter the past in case it changes the future in unexpected ways. But they don't apply to her. She's just an ordinary girl, a mere speck of sand in the vast desert of time. And nothing she does could ever seriously shift the course of the world. Could it?" - from back cover. 20240222.
