- Book Synopsis
- Twelve-year-old Tim Wainwright, growing up on the west coast of Cumbria, struggles with his mum's intense grief after the death of his dad and the constant taunting of village bullies. Only his best friend Annie brings any fun to his life. Fleeing his tormentors after school one day, he finds a hidden cave in the sea cliffs. Once inside, Tim leaps through an enchanted hopscotch board to emerge into a very different Cumbria… two thousand years in the past. This is an ancient land of Romans and Britons under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Tim soon realises he must navigate a totally different culture, facing adventures which challenge not only his resilience and wits to the limit but even risk his very life. Will he ever get back to his own time, his mum and Annie? And does he even really want to? Join Tim on his rip-roaring adventure exploring Roman life in the wilds of ancient Britain, the first in the Timewaif series of historical novels set throughout the ages for children to enjoy.
