ravel through time and into the future - May 2017 to be precise, when you can treat your pupils to Tommy Donbavand's fantastic new series, Time Trek!

Time Trek consists of eight titles and follows the bizarre and comical adventures of Spike and Mia. These eleven year old friends take it upon themselves to try and stop Spike's uncle, Dr Darius Dire, from stealing artefacts from famous historical figures through time.

The time travelling duo, along with Dr Dire's cat, Igor, meet famous historical figures including Julius Caesar, Napoleon and the Bard himself, William Shakespeare. What can the artefacts be that Dr Dire is trying to steal?

These humorous and light-hearted stories have an age-appropriate look and feel with realistic amounts of text; making them accessible to reluctant readers aged 9-12 with a lower reading ability of 7-8. All eight titles feature a general introduction at the start and a page introducing the characters to enable each book to be read as a standalone novel.

Steve Beckett's colour illustrations help hold the reader's attention and encourage the sense of achievement created from turning the page. The eye-catching, vibrant illustrations along with the humorous, thrilling plots, will capture your pupils' imaginations and will be on and off your shelves quicker than Spike and Mia can travel!
