What would do if a poisonous scorpion jumped out of your locker? What if you discovered that the item that was most precious to you had disappeared? To Xena and Xander Holmes this not is their nightmare come to life. The one thing they needed to solve the mystery of the “time stopping amulet” was now missing. Now Xena and Xander must find the amulet the day it is said to be able to cease time. I think this book The Case that Time Forgot by Tracey Barnett, is a great short story. It is a great mystery for those who have a passion for Sherlock Holmes, the great detective. Although this story can be slow and somewhat dragging at times it’s still worth reading. In this third book in the series, a classmate enlists Xena and Xander's help in solving a family mystery. Xena and Xander learn that ancestor Sherlock Holmes had also looked for the missing amulet, the "magical charm" that classmate Karim hopes they can find. And it appears that Karim, Xena and Xander are not the only ones looking for it. Warnings indicate danger for Xena and Xander if the search isn't called off. And then Sherlock Holmes' notebook is stolen from Xander's locker at school. Will they be able to find both the notebook and the amulet?This series will be enjoyable for graduates of the "A to Z mysteries" and Jigsaw Jones series.
Much better than the previous book, although it occasionally has a Scooby-Doo feel to it.

Better than book two, plus I think Egyptian history/gods are fascinating.
