Dive into this electrifying tail-wagging tale filled with magic, mystery, and the timeless bond between man's best friend... and mankind!
When an ordinary dog named Faraday vanishes from a science experiment, he reappears in the unlikeliest of places - right next to Harry and his friends Sofia, Jack, Alex, and Vivi. But this is no ordinary dog.
With sparks flying off his fur and the power to float into mid-air, Faraday leads the kids on a journey beyond their wildest imaginations. Suddenly they're transported to an ancient desert valley where construction of magnificent pyramids is underway!
Facing Egyptian spearmen and royal feasts with Pharaohs, can they get home safe without unravelling the historical timeline?

PROLOGUE

Ladies and Gentlemen! Prepare yourselves for the dawning of a new age!

The elderly man at the far end of the high-tech laboratory filled with humming computers and crackling science experiments pointed towards the large, reinforced window behind him. He had long silver hair and wore a long black overcoat and was leaning heavily on a silver cane topped with a bolt of lightning.

Today we probe the very boundaries of our universe as we enter the quantum universe for the very first time!

There was a ripple of polite applause that passed through the group of men and women in white coats that surrounded the stooped figure, though not all of them believed him.

Begin the experiment! The elderly man commanded as he turned to face the glass, the scientists gathered around him to look down into the chamber beyond.

Bring in the do… A technician began to say.

The test subject! The old man snapped at the technician.

Yes, of course sir, the technician said with a nervous gulp. I mean bring in the test subject.

The old man turned back towards the glass and looked down into the cavernous chamber below. Something that looked like a giant metallic doughnut ran around the outside of the chamber with eight huge sphere-tipped pylons placed at regular intervals, all pointing towards a platform in the centre. A hatch opened on the far side of the room and a wire cage mounted on caterpillar tracks began to slowly roll towards the platform. Inside the cage was a rather confused looking dog with a long, shaggy grey and white coat.

Test subject in position! The technician reported as the cage reached the centre of the large chamber.

Engage the quantum hypercyclotron! The old man commanded.

The room began to fill with a high-pitched whining sound as the machine in the chamber below began to hum with power. The pylons around its circumference lit up with arcing bolts of bright blue energy as the noise grew louder and louder. The old man and the scientists surrounding him raised their hands to shield their eyes from the light in the chamber as it grew brighter and brighter.

ZOOP!

The weird noise seemed to come from everywhere at once and the chamber lit up with a brilliant flash before suddenly plunging everything into darkness.

Quantum teleportation complete! Cooldown cycle in progress.

A couple of seconds later the lights began to flicker back on and the scientists crowded back around the glass to peer down into the test chamber. The clouds of vapour in the centre of the cavern slowly cleared to reveal a large empty cage.

Where’s the dog gone? The
