Biographical note
Andy Jones (Author)Andy Jones began his career as an author writing novels for adults. Grown-up stuff about falling in love, falling out of love, falling in love again and having babies. All of which he has experienced in his own life. More recently, he has been writing books for children. Crazy stuff about genies, monsters, time travel and zombies. None of which he has experienced in his own life. Andy's books are funny, dramatic and unpredictable. They might even make you think. Andy lives on the outskirts of London (the best part, in his opinion) with his wife, daughters and an assortment of other creatures.
Robin Boyden (Illustrator)
Robin Boyden lives in Cheltenham with his partner and their Cockapoo Lupin. Robin has been an illustrator for over a decade and during that time has worked for the likes of The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, Bloomsbury, Nosy Crow and Penguin Random House to name a few. He is also the author and illustrator of the graphic novel Georgia and the Edge of the World (David Fickling Books) and the picture book Gerald Needs a Friend (Frances Lincoln Children's Books). When not drawing, he's usually in the garden, going for a walk or batch cooking in the kitchen.
An instant hit. <b>Bold, clever and funny</b>, with writing that absolutely sizzles. My kids and I are now confirmed fans of Andy Jones, who weaves a smart time-hopping tale around his instantly likeable characters. I'm already looking forward to whatever he does next.
P.G. Bell, author of The Train to Impossible Places
You'll cry tears of laughter, tears of sadness and tears at Dad's terrible jokes. But you'll be smiling while you do. <b>Brilliantly bonkers.</b>
Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?
I have three rules about writing for children: avoid zombies, talent competitions and time travel. Andy Jones has broken all three rules and yet somehow created <b>a rip-roaring time travel comedy adventure. In the future, this book might actually save the world</b>.
David Solomons, author of My Brother Is a Superhero
Funnier than a book about zombies has any right to be. <b>Laugh-out-loud</b> time travel adventures don't come along often - I hope Andy's going to continuum.
Olaf Falafel, author of Trixie Pickle, Art Avenger
This super entertaining time-travel adventure features a sweet and funny hero in Bob, wrestling to save the future from selfie-taking zombies. <b>I loved it! It's a cracking read</b> <b>- a time-twisting romp that deftly touches on growing up, love and loss.</b>
Jo Simmons, author of I Swapped My Brother on the Internet
If laughs on every page, zany zombie escapades and banana bread tickle your reading taste buds, then fasten your seatbelts and head for the future with Bob, an accidental time traveller who is tasked with saving the world! <b>Fizzing with energy, </b><b>comedy and some important real-life issues. </b>
Lancashire Evening Post
Funny and serious at the same time ... a great children's book that deals with very serious themes such as grief but also has many moments of entertainment along the way.
Readers First
An ideal book for fans of fast-paced adventure comedy stories but may also resonate with any child coming to terms with a loss.
