Clio’s Curious Dash Through Time

Clio, the muse of history, would like to take you on a time-traveling adventure. Go with Clio on a tour of the ages. Visit the Library of Alexandria before it burns down, take a peek at the Eiffel Tower being built, and travel to the Lost City of Atlantis on an important mission. In these stories and poems, you will ride into the future on cutting-edge spaceships, go back and forth via portals and time machines, and even find your way out of a “history mystery” escape room.

Clio’s Curious Dash Through Time is the 3rd volume in Wild Ink Publishing’s anthology series, The Magical Muse Library, which awakens the muses, Zeus’s daughters, to inspire readers young and old. This series is one of wonderment that pulls authors and poets from all over the world together to write magical middle grades stories.
