Ordinary kids. Extraordinary Adventures. Laughs for the whole family. Hold on to your trolley as you travel through time with award-winning bestselling authors Greg James and Chris Smith in this hilarious action-packed adventure.

‘Angus had never been very interested in history until he visited it by accident one Tuesday night.’

History has always seemed pretty boring to Angus. Who cares about things that happened thousands of years ago? Totally pointless! That’s what Angus thinks until the day he accidentally falls into a shopping trolley and ends up travelling through time with Marge, the lady who runs the cheese counter at the local supermarket, and who is also FROM THE FUTURE.

And so begins the most epic adventure of his life – exploring a market in Roman Britain, hanging out with Shakespeare, making new friends in Ancient Egypt. Oh, and trying to escape the Evil Emperor Kragg from the 99th Century who is determined to destroy the planet.

Can Angus and his new friends make it out of the past unscathed and, more importantly, is camel cheese really as bad as you imagine? Only time will tell!

This epic and hilarious time travel adventure takes you from Roman Britain to the Ancient Egyptians. An ideal read for Key Stage 2 learners.
