Two kids. One ancient Disk. A secret under the Queen's Apartments.
Loukas and Lydia's family trip to Crete is supposed to be about history, not danger. But when an earthquake cracks open a hidden chamber beneath the palace of Knossos, they discover a glowing Disk covered with strange symbols. Touching it sends them out of their own time and into the world of Minoan Crete, where the Labyrinth is real, the bull-leaping games are deadly, and Ariadne and Daedalus are very much alive.
With only their wits, a tablet full of notes, and each other, Loukas and Lydia must solve puzzles, dodge guards, and uncover the truth behind the Minotaur before the Disk pulls them back - or leaves them stranded.
Blending science, history, and mythology, Loukas & Lydia and the Secret of the Disk explores ancient civilizations, time travel, Greek myths, and the power of choice. This upper middle grade adventure is perfect for readers ages 10-14, grades 5-8, who enjoy mysteries, archaeological sites, sibling stories, and discovering how legends can hold more truth than we think. Book 1 of The Disk Chronicles.
