Review
Max and Liam are back, this time finding themselves trapped in a time-travelling game. But with the power on Liam’s phone running out, can they solve the three riddles before their time is up?
Travelling back in time, they see their home and neighbourhood transform from prehistoric dinosaur roaming days, to the time when the Romans had taken over England and finally to the Middle Ages. The differences in people's lives and amenities, particularly the latrines, enthrals the boys!
A gaming adventure, a history lesson and an action-packed funny and gross read rolled into one, this book ticks a lot of boxes, but is best suited to reluctant readers, particularly those in upper primary.
