Time travel, family, consequences and yoghurts. Oh, and gerbils.
‘I don’t want my life controlled by a fridge.’
Humming in the kitchen of Bugg and Dilan’s new home is a huge, mysterious fridge. Even when Bugg turns off the power, the light stays on. Plus, it’s full of strange-looking yoghurts in glass jars with wax-paper lids. Should they? Shouldn’t they? They do, but the yoghurts take them back to 1974.
What follows is a desperate scramble across time and space, in which the siblings discover a 40-year-old time crime and become painfully aware that small changes they make in the past can have huge consequences for their future. Aided and hindered by go-for-it gerbil-fancier Lorna, they try to put everything back in order before time – and the yoghurts – run out completely.
Another delightful, family-friendly adventure from the author of the
Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week, SHRUNK!
Mengenai Pengarang
Born in Chobham, by an airfield, and raised in Winchester on the banks of the river Itchen, Fleur Hitchcock grew up as the youngest child of three. When she was eight, she wrote a story about an alien and a jelly. It was called THE ALIEN AND THE JELLY and filled four exercise books. She grew up a little, went away to school near Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years, sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa and graduated with a distinction. Now living outside Bath, between parenting and writing, Fleur Hitchcock works with her husband, a toy-maker, looks after other people’s gardens and grows vegetables. Fleur’s debut novel SHRUNK! was THE SUNDAY TIMES ‘Book of the Week’, and you can follow her at: fleurhitchcock.wordpress.com or on Twitter: @fleurhitchcock
