Connie and the gang are back in Ancient Egypt 🌅🐫 – and this time, they have a mission 💪

Their meeting with Hatshepsut, the first woman to rule Egypt as a Pharoah – didn’t go to plan… The gang found Hatshepsut down in the dumps – convinced that one day everything she’d achieved would be forgotten.

Can the gang prove to Hatshepsut that her legacy will live on? It will take some sneaky hieroglyphs, plenty of time travel and a history lesson like no other! ⏳🎶
