It's time to kick off an adventure with the Wonder Team!
When Leah and her friends are magically transported to Egypt, they realize they've also been taken back in time - they're stuck in the year 1900! And, even worse, their school bully has somehow travelled back with them!
But when they meet Khalid and his aunt Amina, an Egyptian archaeologist who's on an expedition to discover a mythical amulet, Leah and her friends are excited to join the hunt.
With a mysterious figure working to sabotage Amina, The Wonder Team will have to work together to uncover the clues and dodge booby traps as they search for the pharaoh's treasure. Can they solve the mystery before time runs out, or will the secret of the pyramids stay hidden forever?
Other Information:Leah Williamson plays as a defender for Arsenal and the Lionesses, England Women's Football team. In the summer of 2022 Leah captained the Lionesses to victory in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.
As the first captain in the men's or women's senior teams to lead England to a European victory, Leah is uniquely positioned to motivate and inspire younger generations, and her first book, You Have the Power, is her empowering guide for children.
