Holly Nightingale, Outside of Time

By Ian Roberts

"Well, I'll let you into a secret: time is weird - in fact, it's downright crazy "

When lonely 14 year old Holly Nightingale is alone strange things happen. Unwilling to upset her protective single parent mum, history geek Holly turns to fellow social outsider Leah; but as she confides the strange experiences she's been having, both girls are drawn into the influence of the mysterious yet dangerous time traveller Ravenna Friere, who claims to be her mother's old mentor.

But when Holly's strange time travelling episodes begin to get out of control she must learn to master her fledgling supernatural power before the ancient forces her mother was shielding her from can exploit her inherited gift.

OUTSIDE OF TIME is a story of bravery and friendship in the face of forces far bigger than the characters. With its witty dialogue and deliberately strong female lead, this older middle grade story will appeal to readers of the likes of Rick Riordan and Eoin Colfer, while having a depth familiar to lovers of Phillip Pullman, Jonathan Stroud and Philip Reeve - with forgiveness and self-worth at its heart.

A gripping yet funny read for lovers of classic fantasy adventure, magic, and all things historical
