The story
Inkfinga loves taking things apart, but he never washes the ink off his fingers. When he types his grandfather's birthday on an old typewriter, he is pulled into a spinning tunnel of time.
He lands among the ruins of ancient Greece with a talking pocket watch named Karius. His sloppy fixes and inky smudges leave a trail, and Medusa, with her head of snakes, starts searching for him.
The real place: Ancient Greece
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1In old Greek myths, Medusa had snakes for hair, and anyone who looked straight at her was said to turn to stone.
- 2Pericles was a real leader of ancient Athens, and he helped build the famous Parthenon temple.
- 3Ancient Greeks made floor pictures called mosaics by fitting together thousands of tiny pieces of stone and tile.
