Synopsis

If you think that History is set in stone, then think again. It's not. History is written by the winners and may not be, all that it seems. ‘The Truth About Doppelgängers’ is an exciting collection of books, starring some of the most incredible characters who have ever lived. Forget about, what you think you know, about Leonardo Da Vinci, Rasputin and Marilyn, to name but a few. The truth about these famous icons, might just come as a shock or a whole host of very BIG shocks, to you. At the heart of the series, are some of the greatest mysteries of our world. You know the ones I mean, those unusual stories and tales that really don’t add up in the cold light of day. For example, did Shakespeare, the glover's son, really write those plays? If he didn't, then who did? If there’s a lie, then why? It is time for his story and that of many others, to be told. With endless twists and unexpected turns, you will be hugely entertained and utterly intrigued as you view the past and the future from a different angle. There are lots of references to grassy knolls, white Fiat Unos and other infamous aspects of conspiracy theories litter the pages, teasing the reader to find out more. Are we alone? Paul is Dead! Was the Moon-Landing a big, fat hoax? These theories, and many others are layered throughout the adventures in some very unusual and unexpected circumstances. Historically accurate, interesting connections are revealed. In a nutshell, History will not seem too different from the stuff you know from school. However, the interpretation of the facts will be way off track, but if you keep an open mind, will make perfect sense. ‘There’s One in Every Class’ is the first book in the series. The tale is narrated by Paul, a young teenager, who was known for his excellent turn of phrase, good sense of humour and massive chip on his shoulder. His story centres around Ruby, who is coping with a deep sadness, due to the recent death of her twin brother. Yes, Paul is dead! Ruby wins a scholarship to attend William Raeburn's School, where her world is further turned upside down when she finds out that she is a time travelling doppelgänger! With the help of her enigmatic teacher, Ruby travels back to 1973. She meets Ricky and Ringo, both of whom, she discovers, are fellow doppelgängers. They become great friends and after lots of adventures in the seventies, the trio travel back in time to acquaint the legendary...Miss Jean Brodie. Driven and on a mission, they are introduced to Deacon Brodie, the charismatic, master spy and self-proclaimed Guru of The Doppelgängers. Life, in Auld Reekie, is dangerous and fantastic, in equal measure. Deacon Brodie, and the doppelgängers, with the help of a few surprising characters, are tasked to save one hundred and one Star Children from the clutches of the evil, Prince Fe and his followers. Success in the assignment is essential. To fail…unthinkable. The theory, that the future of our planet is protected, by ensuring our history remains constant, is tested to the extreme. Deacon Brodie, faces the gallows of his own design, and the status quo of our planet is in serious jeopardy. ‘There’s One in Every Class’ is a story to be enjoyed by old and young alike. If you love to read or to be read to, then this book is for you. There really is something, in the story, for everyone. Sadly, there are too few novels that are suitable for the most able readers age eleven and over, as many of the books that match reading age are, quite often, inappropriate in content. ‘There's One in Every Class', is written in such a way, to stretch the most confident readers of any age group and also to inspire those reluctant readers, by the power of a good story that is compelling, exciting, full of intrigue and humour. Designed to appeal to kids of all ages, whether nine or ninety-nine. The truth is often stranger than fiction. The difference between the two? The latter, has to make sense.
