Spike and Mia would never describe Dr Darius Dire as a work of art — but he’ll be able to create one of his own if he can steal Vincent van Gogh’s paintbrush! Watch out! Follow the adventures of Spike and Mia as they travel back in time to stop Spike’s uncle, Dr Darius Dire, from stealing artefacts from historical figures in Tommy Donbavand’s series, Time Trek. These eight stories take place over different periods in time and have been specifically written for readers who are 10+ with a reading age of 7-8. The simple yet punchy sentence structures, vibrant colour illustrations and humorous themes will entertain reluctant readers time and time again.
