When history faces challenges, the time keepers step in the travel back in time to the relevant era and fix the problem. This time the crisis is taking place in the Viking period, and young readers are given an opportunity to learn some history (painlessly!) as they follow Min Juy and Rosa's adventures.

This is a good series to introduce youngsters to a wide range of history topics, with fun illustrations. It gets 3.5 stars.

This is my first encounter with the Timekeepers series and it was a great introduction. What a great way to inspire younger audiences interest into history and in such a fun way too. Through action and adventure, with an evil villain’s plans to foil, there’s no better way to introduce history and in a way that doesn’t feel like learning.

This one focuses on Vikings, and we join the Timekeepers as they try to keep history on track. We meet historic characters (such as Leif Erikksen) and learn about vikings along the way. I also love that there was an information fact file at the back which balanced fiction and non fiction and there was also a great glossary at the back with words young readers may not have encountered yet.

I can imagine this one, along with all the others in the series, is a great addition to any young readers bookshelf, and with some great illustrations to accompany the text, makes this book a fun and exciting one that’s sure to keep the attention of its target audience.

When history is at risk, the timekeepers must step in to help. Join Min Juy and Rosa as they explore the world of vikings and stop the evil Deloy before he alters the past and change the future.

A short chapter book that can still appeal to those readers who enjoy pictures within their reads. The illustrations are lovely and integrated beautifully within the story. The vocabulary is ambitious for the younger reader but offers an opportunity for discussion and grow their vocabulary. I would highly recommend his book for Key Stage 2 children particularly those in years 3 and 4.

The little details such as the fact files, illustrations, glossaries and quizzes within the book add a fantastic extra to the story.

Great for exploring themes such as
🌟 problem solving
🌟accusation
🌟 communication
🌟found friendships
🌟 misunderstandings
🌟teamwork
🌟historical basis

This book is part of a series which explores a range of different moments in history.

I have never seen this series before but was very excited when I saw it advertised on NetGalley. As a history enthusiast and primary school teacher, I knew that this was going to be a book that I would enjoy and would definitely be recommending to my pupils; I was correct!
The story is great for younger children to be able to follow along with, as well as great pictures which really help to bring the story to life! The chapters are quite short and there is always plenty going on to really keep the reader interested. I love the fact file at the end, as well as the quiz, helping to give the reader more knowledge about the time period.
I was even more excited to find out that this was a series and will be on the lookout for more of these to add to my collection and share with my pupils!
Thank you to SJ King, DK Children’s and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It has developed the ideas of the Magic Tree House series and produced a book which combines both fiction and non-fiction.

The characters were interesting, seeing how their particular characteristics combined to solve the mystery was fun. The story was fast moving . I had not read other books in the series but this did stand alone. It will be a useful book for schools to use when studying the Vikings, with pupils who are aged between 7 and 9. It also leads into the topic of exploration.

My first “time” reading this series about a group of kids in a secret organisation to ensure history isn’t tampered with or thrown off course. - ‘The Timekeepers’.

This is now book seven in these time-travelling intrepid adventures; so plenty of titles to track down and enjoy for me and my grandson.

I have always enjoyed ideas of journeying across time. Here the idea is going back in time to ensure history isn’t interfered with, but maintained as we know it. Tackling the malevolent villain called Delay intent to irreversibly change the past.

By a publisher well known for their inventive educational books, this is a fresh and brilliant concept.
I was delighted to read a collection of stories which elevate history. By balancing fun events within real locations and interesting facts this a perfect vehicle to make historical events accessible and exciting.

It is a great skill to blend fact and fiction to both stimulate and educate young minds.
I thought the glossary of terms expanding vocabulary and more technical words was excellent. Who doesn’t love a quiz that tests comprehension of the narrative and seal the learning outcomes?

What parent cannot wish to embrace these adventures with their own children, where kids like them are the heroes and reading these tales their exposure to history is a happy and positive experience?

I really enjoyed reading this book with my little boy, it features a group of diverse children from around the world called upon to take part in an adventure. This book focuses on the Vikings and the children find themselves on board a Viking longboat. They must find the villain who is trying to disrupt time and history and set things right.

The book cleverly interlaces the story with facts and history so children learn in a fun and engaging manner. The illustrations help to bring the story to life and the story itself is well written. There are elements of friendship, puzzle solving and compromise to help children learn these key skills.

It also has a great glossary, quiz and longboat diagram at the back. It's a story my little boy would ask for over and over.

Thank you so much to DK and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

What an incredibly fun historical adventure, so many elements to the story that make it so fascinating. I really enjoyed this adventure and going into the vikings time line with our protagonists.

I loved the mystery that the children had to solve, and history they had to fix, from what the mission was, to what happened to the tree, stopping the war before history changes too much and then stopping the villain. There was so much that these children had to solve and it was all so exciting to read.

I really liked how the two chosen children adapted so quickly to the environment, they saw instantly what the situation was, where in history they were and got right in with trying to blend in. They made friends with the two local children so quickly which I loved as then they had an extra set of hands for fixing things.

I really enjoyed this book and am sure that the other books in the series are just as fun, adding in time travel with history going wrong is always a good call as it brings a way of making it more enjoyable for modern children, but helps ensure that they learn and understand parts of history.

The book also came with so many extra features at the end which helps continue the lesson but also brings more fun. Plus really lovely illustrations to look at on each page and I know children would enjoy looking at them as the story progresses, seeing these characters in history.
