The Blitz Bus
Emmie let out a huge sob – “It’s not a film set”, she cried. She held onto Jack for a moment, then took a step back, closed her eyes and shouted – “WHERE AM I?”
When Jack and Emmie suddenly find themselves transported back to London in 1940, they find a world both familiar, yet very different. As they dodge falling bombs and over-zealous policemen, they befriend Jan – a lonely Polish refugee. Together, they must work out if the shadowy figure they keep seeing is a spy and unlock the secret of getting home again…
The Titanic Tunnel
‘It’s Titanic – aren’t you curious? No one alive today has seen it like that.’
Emmie & Jack are on a school trip with a difference. Visiting Belfast to see where Titanic was built, they step back to 1912 and discover the great ship itself. All too soon, they find out that the way home is blocked, and Jack gets dragged off to work by one of the crew. Who is the mysterious stranger lurking in the shadows, and can they solve his time riddle to escape from the doomed ship before it is too late…?
The Disappearing Diamond
‘What did you do?! Did you touch it?’ she shouted at him over the noise. Jack shook his head, rooted to the spot and looking very pale.
When the valuable Koh-i-Noor diamond vanishes in mysterious circumstances during their school trip, Emmie and Jack must navigate thieves and deception in Victorian London to discover what has happened to it.
Soon it becomes clear that the fate of the upcoming coronation rests in their hands – will they find the diamond and their way back in time?
