The Olympic Games of Greece - (The Time Explorers) by Jordi Ortiz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

What would you do if somebody told you it was possible to time travel? The Olympic Games of Greece is the third book in THE TIME EXPLORERS series which mixes comic book dialogues with an adventure novel for children, and it's full of colorful illustrations. Each book will take you on a fascinating journey through time with the main characters Victor, Christina, Seldon, and Ibis. Throughout the novel, readers will come across some questions which will allow them to discover incredible fun facts about ancient civilizations. For this, they will have to use the time-traveling clock (included in the book) to decipher the page number hidden behind the red background. In The Olympic Games of Greece, the Time Explorers will go back to 556 BC to visit the city of Olympia while the Olympic Games are being held. For this mission, they will have to get the golden wreath of Hercules, even though nobody knows if this object actually existed or if it only is a mere legend. Will they manage to complete the mission before Eternal Maleficent stops them? Check out all the extra material for this book collection in our website!
