Twinter: The First Portal

Ghosts, time-travel, a dozen impossible riddles, and a curse of snow

Twelve-year-old twins, Kit (a keen boy-scientist) and Bash (a girl with a natural green thumb and a flair for elaborate words) are excited to be moving from a noisy city to Bede Hall, their eccentric grandmothers crumbling stately home, set in the sleepy English countryside.
With all thats gone horribly wrong for a year, moving to a grand old mansion seems a solution that promises an adventure of endless exploration and freedom. Bash can create the garden of her dreams and Kit has an abandoned space to set up his own laboratory.
Instead, they stumble upon a portal to the future with three disturbing secrets, begin to untangle the supernatural history of Bede – a village as bizarre as their grandmothers magic snow globe, and meet some unexpected life-forms who appear to be as haunted as the ghost of Bede Hall – a hapless young girl trapped in the attics wintry room.
In order to save the planet, the twins must navigate a maze of time portals to unravel an age-old mystery. The answers lie in Ancient Egypt, but only time will surrender its hidden knowledge, and according to their grandmothers old hourglass, time is running out.

Holding the world in ones hands is a big responsibility
