Oliver Waite and the History Club: Curse of King Tut's Idol

Oliver Waite and the History Club: Curse of King Tut's Idol is the first book in a new middle grade fiction series for readers ages 8-16. Set in the top-secret Area 53, the story follows a curious group of kids who uncover a hidden government program that sends them back in time-to ancient Egypt. A time-travel adventure that blends historical mystery, clever twists, and just enough myth to keep readers wondering what's actually true.

History isn't just something they study. It's something they experience.

When the club travels back to the days of the pharaohs, they witness the building of the pyramids, encounter ancient rituals, and meet the young King Tut himself. But the past is more fragile than they realize-and when they accidentally bring a cursed idol into their time, they must race to undo the damage before history itself is rewritten.

Ideal for fans of fast-paced adventure, secret clubs, and time-bending danger, this series offers young readers a unique blend of excitement, education, and imagination. With a tone that balances dry humor, high stakes, and smart character dynamics, the series appeals to both reluctant readers and book lovers alike.

Eric P. Bakke brings his lifelong fascination with history, hidden truths, and storytelling to a new generation of readers.

The History Club series is perfect for classroom libraries, independent reading, and book clubs-offering a high-interest entry point into ancient history with a modern twist.
