About the author

Kathleen Duey grew up in Colorado. She loved riding her horses, hiking, being in the mountains. Reading was always important to her. Writing became a fascination early in her life. In the fourth grade, Kathleen began writing stories and told everyone who would listen that she was going to be an author. Then she did nothing about it until she was 35 years old. Writing was her passion and her dream-come-true.

Reviews

[Scottsdale Public Library]

A fascinating series which the publisher dubs “movie adventures without the screen,” these colorful children’s books – a mix of history and fantasy - combine photography with digital illustrations and special effects to create vivid images on every page. In Mummy, the Time Soldiers – a group of neighborhood kids - enter the secret time portal and arrive in ancient Egypt, but in each book they travel to different eras and locations. A great way for young readers to learn about history while adventuring along with the Time Soldiers. – Jess O.
