Stuck in the Land of the Pharaohs – Special Illustrated Edition

A Very Special Illustrated Edition!

What happens when a group of young artists joins forces with an author and a professional illustrator? Something rather special!

This unique edition of Stuck in the Land of the Pharaohs is the result of an exciting collaboration between author Dave Johnson, illustrator Ian Newsham and the talented pupils of Uppingham C of E Primary School.

Alongside a wealth of new illustrations created by Ian, the book features imaginative artwork by the children, each bringing their own interpretation to the characters, adventures and extraordinary world of Ancient Egypt.

Together, they've given this time-travelling adventure a whole new look, creating a book that celebrates not only the magic of storytelling, but also the creativity of the next generation of artists.

Trapped in Ancient Egypt—Can They Escape the Sands of Time?

The shimmering sun blazes over the Nile, the desert winds shift the sands—but so does time itself.

The Baxter children are thrust back a hundred years on a desperate mission: find an ancient artefact before one of them succumbs to a fatal disease. Their search begins in the Valley of the Kings, just as Howard Carter uncovers the tomb of the legendary Boy King, Tutankhamun. But disaster strikes—their time machine malfunctions, and suddenly, Robert, James, and Lucy have a much bigger problem.

They are now three thousand years in the past, trapped in the heart of an ancient civilization. Face to face with King Tut and Queen Nefertiti, the Baxters quickly realize they are not welcome—and danger lurks at every turn.

With no way home and their survival at stake, they must rely on their wits, courage, and teamwork. But in a world ruled by pharaohs and gods, will that be enough? And will Uncle Archie ever find them before it’s too late?

If you love The Eye of Ra by Ben Gartner or The Mummy’s Curse by M.A. Bennett, you won’t want to miss this thrilling time-travel adventure!

This is the sixth stand-alone book in the Stuck series, blending history, adventure, and time travel into an unforgettable journey.
