Product Description

Product Description
When Old Father Tim, Greenwich's Guardian of time, feels a wobble in the earth's floor, he isn't overly concerned time has slight wibbles now and then. He has allowed for this. But then two events occur in this magical invisible world that cause quakes so massive that human and Guardian time are shaken completely out of alignment, causing our worlds to drift further and further apart. Old Father Tim and the Guardians decided that the only way to stop this happening is to search for and repair the Gemetbur - a thing of legends and before time, set up to govern time before Guardians ever existed. But, when Tid and Sofi discover in a dusty old children's book that their grandfather, Old Father Tim, is in grave danger should he reach this legendary thing, they set out after him and everyone is in a race against time to save each other as well our worlds!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming!, 5 Mar 2007
By Wuby "Wuby" (London, England) - See all my reviews
My daughter used her world book day voucher when we bought this book. Fortunately it wasn't wasted! She is eight and wanted to read it at every opportunity this weekend (which was a lot as the weather was awful!) It has now been passed to her best friend who is also devouring it.
More than likely going to be the book that we buy as a gift as it will be appreciated by most children!
Very enjoyable

4.0 out of 5 stars a good read, 18 April 2006
By Ms. M. Jeffery "mariej144" (Wolverhampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the 1st of this series from a boy in my class and was hooked. I wasn't disappointed with this book. In this book we see the 2 children (Sophie and Tid) having to come to the rescue of the whole world before time stands still forever. They meet an old foe from the last book as well, but have things changed? Worth a read if you like to read a few chapters a night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first book, 20 Feb 2006
It's a really good read. I could hardly put it down apart from a brief patch in one of the early chapters. Most of the same characters appear as in the Time Wreccas and a few more are added. Like the first bok it is more than just a fast adventure. The characters learn something about themselves and move on.
