Description
A Slip in Time is the story of an ordinary boy who gets mixed up in some extraordinary events. When Jack sets out to the shops, he finds that he has somehow stepped into the streets of Victorian London. With every person that he meets, the story gets stranger.
Flashbacks are dramatic stories set during key moments in history. Strong characters and thrilling plots bring the past to life.
Reviews
'There is a real art in writing a complete, rounded and credible story within 96 pages and this is a splendid example...it will be enjoyed by younger readers and would appeal to older boys who are less confident. It also reads aloud well' * Books for Keeps (January 2011) *
