Beschreibung
Catapulted back in time by a mysterious machine, Eric joins forces with a young Ada Lovelace to find a way home in this time-slip adventure from acclaimed author Lindsay Galvin. When Eric Finch discovers a mysterious machine hidden in his attic, he realises that his mother has been keeping a huge secret. A brilliant mathematician, Eric’s mother has used designs from an old journal belonging to her ancestor Ada Lovelace to build the machine, but Eric has no idea how it works or what it does. Unable to resist tinkering with the machine, Eric finds himself thrust into an unforgettable adventure. But his actions have also threatened the very fabric of time, with possibly terrifying consequences … Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. A gripping childrens story for kids and juvenile readers, it combines technology, inventions and a dash of historical mystery with high-stakes travel across time. Ideal for reluctant and teenage readers alike, this latest, up-coming young adult tale is a top, best pick for anyone who loves stories with big ideas. For fans of Lauren Tarshis (I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79), Georgia Ball (Clifford the Big Red Dog), Karen Inglis (Walter Brown and the Magician's Hat), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and Matt Goodfellow (Tomorrow We Begin).
