    About the Author

    Simon Lee left the UK a number of years ago and now live in the south of Spain. This means that he doesn’t see his niece and nephew, the real Thomas and Emily, as much as he wants so he decided to write them a story. He wants the books to give them a passion for reading which is why he have made them the main characters, and included a lot of things from our real lives. He also wants to try and give them an interest in history which is why a lot of the historical references in the books are as accurate as he can make them. The physics that he has used to explain time travel, however, is just nonsense.

      I would love to win this — sounds like something my 10-year-old son would love! Speaking as a librarian, it would also be a great addition to the elementary school library collection.

      One of my favourite genres as a child was time travel, probably starting with Alison Uttley’s “A Traveller in Time”, so this trilogy sounds fascinating.
