Featured Reviews

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.

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.

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?
