Summary

They had a plan, but it didn't include getting stuck in the 19th century! In this stand-alone adventure, Robert, James, and Lucy Baxter travel to the 19th century on an important mission, starting by befriending a young Charles Dickens. If the children fail, it could prove fatal for one of them. They have to work as a team to find a way through their problems, especially as once again they find themselves stuck, without the means to get home. At that point, Lucy realizes she needs to step up and take control, or all will be lost!

A great way to get stuck into history

This is such an original and unusual series that I am just loving it. I have read all the books in the series (so far) and I am now making my way through the audio books. Even through I know what happens there is so much going on that I am still entertained. This is the 3rd book in the series and it is proving to be a winner, as the author keeps each adventure fresh and exciting. It's easy to follow and as each book is a standalone they can be read in any order, just make sure you read or listen to them if you want to travel to a different era in Time for some fun. I like how each book involves a different reason for why the children get suck, in this case there is a number of factors and reason to complicate there return, accidents, fires, slavery, work houses and even prison. This book focuses around the Charles Dickens era but as he is a young boy, just about to start his career as a writer, you don't have to worry about getting bored with retelling of his stories if that is not your thing, I liked how the author did use some of the names tho. I like the characters and the way the story plays to each of the children's strengths but Lucy was my favourite this time round, especially when despite being invisible she manages to get a job, a nice twist on the author's part. This book is more than just painting a picture of what London was like back in 1824 and a children's book it's a lot of fun.
This time when a chain of discarded letters, starting with Charles Dickens father, goes missing from the museum Lucy is the one needing her brother's help. The children with help from the time machine head back to 1824 to befriend a young Charles Dickens. This time they have done their research and have a plan, everybody knows what they need to do but something goes wrong in there real time line and the children become stuck with no way to get back. Uncle Archie had provided them with provisions but what happens if they stay longer than a week? Or if they get separated? Can Robert and James earn enough money for food and lodging? Because living in the streets is no fun no matter what year it is? What about Lucy can she survives when no body can see her? And will the children still be able to find the letters for when the machine finally takes them home? Only time will tell.
I like the narrator she is a good choice for the series as she does some fun voices and even had to sing in this book.
