About SuperQuesters Mission: Desert Danger:
When best friends Lilli, Leo, and Bea discover a message in a bottle asking for help, they answer the call. In a flash, they arrive in Questland where rogue archaeologist Professor Vortec plans to steal the legendary treasure using an ancient ritual, which will destroy the desert.
Dive for treasure, debug dune buggies and dodge giant mummybots in this exciting race against time to stop Professor Vortec. Can the SuperQuesters – and the reader – crack the codes and solve the puzzles before the three stars align?
The book is embedded with real-life fun facts, brain-teasing puzzles and STEM activities, supports the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum and includes four science experiments that can be tried at home or school with easy to source materials.
