A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Robert Taylor has a lot on his mind. It's not just first love, life at a misplaced school, or even his odd parents. He's just found out that he doesn' t officially exist, he can step through time undetected, and that his scary Great Aunt Agatha happens to be the Guardian Of Time. In fact, she's the second-most powerful member of an ancient organisation which safeguards the entire world. But that's not all... The five Eternity Mirrors which grant her access to the past, present and future have been stolen by Troublers and hidden through various gateways in time - and unfortunately, he's the only one who can retrieve them all... and even more unfortunately, he's got less than one week to do it - because whoever is seated before them by midnight on Thursday will become the next Guardian Of Time. Such a task couldn't possibly be carried out alone, of course. It requires the friendship and guidance of an eccentric Victorian aristocrat, two mad Flappers, a gruff New Yorker, Agatha's over-stressed fruitcake of an assistant, a weird black cat and a maybe-girlfriend - and a lot of chasing around through different times and countries. So join Bob on a wild race through time as he finds out far more than he could ever want to know about first love, friendships (the era-splitting variety), left-sided steaks... and saving the universe. One week can be a very, VERY long time.

Revue de presse :

A GREAT READ! Sugar..... ACE! Mizz..... ONE BIG FUN ADVENTURE! Talk..... MAGIC! Smash Hits..... THE BEE'S KNEES! It's Hot!..... IT'S A GRIPPING READ! Dare..... SOMETHING GREAT! J17..... AND FROM THE PUBLISHER - The dictionary section of 1927's Flapper's Almanac has been thoughtfully added at the end of this book, which is extremely useful. I would even go so far as to say it's habso sench, because some lollygagging tent-pegs or dew-drop hayshakes out there might get lathered by all the Chancerian yack within, and thus undumbnification to a boffdalacious level is a list-topper in order to jump on this particular trolley, as it were. The story twists and turns more than a sunburnt snake, so riding the down-one up is a no-go for such an elephant-eyebrow of a rollercoaster. Really. --Magazines and the publisher
