When twin bookworms Brooks and Beatrix start history lessons with the same teachers who taught their parents, they aren’t sure what to expect. What they couldn’t imagine was to travel back in time to ancient Alexandria, find the original Odyssey scroll, and get stuck in a treasure box with their teachers nowhere in sight! Will their first day of school turn into a ten-year journey home, like Odysseus’ epic expedition? Or will they find the courage and wisdom to find their way home? Join bookworms Brooks and Beatrix as they learn about Homer’s Odyssey , Alexander the Great, the Library of Alexandria, togas, papyrus scrolls, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Ptolemy II, and Aristotle. Infused with both literary and historical references, The Bookworms is a great addition to the shelf of any child who loves curiosity, learning, and adventure.
