Overview
Kpop Demon Hunters fans will love this hilarious time-travel adventure starring famous historical figures as you've never seen them before. Join schoolgirl Skylar as she dances with Ancient Egypt’s King Tutankhamun, fangirls with Marie Curie & gives William Shakespeare a K-Beauty glow up. When Skylar and best friend Dana accept a ride in Nana’s new tuktuk, they don’t expect to travel through time – nor to accidentally kidnap Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh King Tut and turn him into a K-pop sensation! Soon Skylar and Dana are on a whirlwind race through time to put things right before they change history for ever… Giving history a K-pop glow-up, this is a laugh-out-loud and life-affirming novel from the funniest voice in fiction.
