Nine-year-old Billy is digging for buried treasure when he finds a wormhole in the garden! And to make matters worse, all sorts of people from the past begin to clamber through it. Now Billy - aided by his pet dog, Shakespeare - is in a race against time to close the wormhole and round up all the people who have slipped through it, before history is changed for ever! No pressure then...

Reviews

This is a hilarious, laugh out loud story, you don't know what madcap plot twist is coming along next. * Primary Times * I learned quite a lot about historical characters from the book... I've now decided to ask for a metal detector for Christmas as I hope to find buried armour and other historic items! * Hugo (Age 7), National Geographic Kids *
