The Time Driver [EPUB ebook] 

Have you ever noticed how time flies when you’re having fun, but slows to a crawl when you’re doing something boring?
That can’t be just a coincidence…can it?
When thirteen-year-old Chase Connors is expelled for accidentally blowing up his school’s science lab (again), he is sent to a strange new academy run by an imperious headmaster, where time itself appears to be broken! Before long, Chase is hurled into a time-twisting, swashbuckling adventure that changes everything he thinks he knows about himself.
And Incas.
And pirates.
And owls.
And the whole of time and space!
‘The Time Driver’ is the second book set in Bisby By The Sea, a truly curious town where strange things have a habit of happening just a little too often!
