Large print and plenty of illustrations make it fun for newly developing or reluctant readers and everyone else as well.

Primary Times

A book bulging with lively illustrations, a mixed bag of quirky narrative styles, hilarious bullet points, laugh-out-loud jokes and funny, clever plots and twists. This is a story just asking to be read… again and again and again.

Lancashire Evening Post

For those who might enjoy being grossed out whilst considering the implications of time travel, it’s genius. It’s great to read a book with a story which will engage more gifted readers, but that also acknowledges they might actually still want to read about yucky stuff.

Books-a-go-go-go-go-go

Funny, clever, brilliant - I love this book. Buy it immediately!

Dermot O'Leary

Young fans of Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be drawn to the time travelling antics of this new, unlikely superhero...
