About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to express interest in the 'how' and 'why' of the past, or if they are looking for a fast-paced mystery that rewards attention to detail. It is a perfect choice for transition readers who are ready for chapter books but still benefit from the visual support and clear world-building that DK Publishing provides. The story follows the Timekeepers, a group of young protectors who travel to the year 1442 to stop a villain from disrupting the Aztec Empire. Through the eyes of Rosa and Luke, children explore the architectural marvels of Tenochtitlan while learning about the importance of teamwork and historical preservation. It is a secular, adventurous look at indigenous culture that emphasizes curiosity and responsibility over dry facts, making history feel like a living, breathing puzzle for kids aged 7 to 10.
