A Tale of Time City
Vivian has been kidnapped!
She's sure that Jonathan and Sam have whisked her away to a city of
the future. But Time City exists outside time and space - though its
inhabitants, as Vivian discovers, couldn't be more human. Trying to
get back home, Vivian becomes entangled in the plight of the crumbling
Time City. A desperate hunt begins through time to find its builder,
the legendary Faber John, and his four precious caskets. But someone
else is determined to find him first - someone who is spreading chaos
throughout history in an attempt to destroy the city. Is it the dreaded
Time Lady? Or an unknown adversary?
The Time of the Ghost
A fearful, dark power has
turned her worst nightmare into reality. She has become a ghost - alone
in a world she once knew, among people who were once her family. She
is one of them - but which one? She only knows that something terrible
is about to happen. That one of her sisters will die - unless she can
use the future to remake the past. Unless she can defeat Monigan's evil
power for ever...
Wilkin's Tooth
OWN BACK LIMITED - it seemed
like a marvellous scheme! Frank and Jess had set up the business because
they needed money - their pocket-money had been stopped just when Frank
owed Buster Knell ten pence. Their father had put a quick stop to ERRANDS
RUN, so why not try something that was bad instead? Something like arranging
for Buster Knell to fall down a man-hole and charging five pence...
dreadful things that other people didn't dare to do? So they pinned
up the notice on the potting-shed - REVENGE ARRANGED, PRICE ACCORDING
TO TASK, ALL DIFFICULT TASKS UNDERTAKEN, TREASURE HUNTED, ETC. The first
customer to take the idea seriously was Buster Knell himself. He said
he'd let Frank off the 10p if Frank would help him get his revenge on
Vernon Wilkins, who'd knocked his tooth out - what Buster wanted was
one of Wilkins' teeth in return. That was a bit of a problem, but luckily
Vernon's small brother was just loosing a tooth... Then the two strange
girls from the cheese-coloured house by the allotment wanted to get
their own back on Biddy Iremonger, who was rumoured to be a witch, and
who, they said, had put a spell on them. Quickly, news of the business
spread and more children became entangled in the web of plots and mystery,
while Biddy Iremonger also felt she had a right to revenge herself -
and perhaps she really was a witch?
