Have you ever wondered how Princess Elizabeth celebrates her birthday? Does she have a party? Does she play games? Well, take a trip back in time with Spike and Mia to find out…

It’s Spikes birthday and Mia has accidently sent his present to his Uncle’s house. For most families this would be fine, but Spikes Uncle is Dr Darius Dire, a shifty scientist who travels back in time to try and steal artefacts for his collection.

The trouble with stealing things from the past is that it changes the present, and may even destroy the future.

But where in time is he going, and what is he after?

Emergency for England is one of eight titles in Tommy Donbavand’s new series, Time Trek. The series follows the adventures of Spike and Mia, as they endeavour to stop Spike’s Uncle, Dr Dire, from stealing artefacts from famous historical figures.

With a word count of 1300-1400 and a reading age of 7-8, Emergency for England is accessible to reluctant readers aged 9-12. Featuring simple yet punchy sentence structures, full colour illustrations and humorous light-hearted storylines, Emergency for England, and the other seven titles, will capture your pupils’ imaginations and give them an introduction to famous historical figures.

The vibrant illustrations skilfully drawn by Steve Beckett compliment the fantastic, inventive storylines and bring them to life. This captivating series will be on and off your shelves as fast as The Gizmo can send people through time.
