Puts the cool into Historicool! thirteen-year-old exchange student Jenna thought that her New York school trip would be all about vintage shopping, celeb spotting and spa treatments. But her musty old teacher has other ideas.When a trip to Dullsville (aka the Metropolitan Museum) finds Jenna stuck 3500 years in the past - like in Ancient Egypt - she has to figure out a way to get back to civilization. Armed only with a smartphone, her big mouth and a second-hand pair of Marc Jacobs sandals, it's going to take a lot of fast-talking to avoid:1.marriage to a sleazy Pharoah; 2.eternal enslavement, and the worst;3.life without the internet. Feisty, fresh and very funny, talk Like an Ancient Egyptian is simply hieroglyphic!Praise for talk Like An Ancient Egyptian:'Small Bird, Angry Frog, Snake, Snake, Big Eye, Startled Cat!!!'Queen Nefertiti
