Time is being stolen by an evil woman called Regalia Mason. She plans on packaging it up and selling it to the highest bidder. If she can manage to gain control of time, Regalia Mason and her company, Quanta, will rule the world. And she's almost, almost there. Time tornadoes are whirling through London, whipping up whole busloads of people and spinning them away, never to be seen again. Woolly mammoths are appearing on the Thames. Regalia Mason is perilously close. Provided that is, she can prevent Abel Darkwater, sinister alchemist and magician of indeterminate age, from discovering a powerful clock known as the Timekeeper and ruling the world himself.
My thanks to the good people at Bloomsbury for sending the book.
Madeline L'Engle's [[Wrinkle In Time]] is an equally entertaining and more belt and braces look at the meaning of time for slightly older children, while Louis Sachar's [[Someday Angeline]] has the same quirky love of language and would be easier for little ones to read alone. You might also appreciate [[The History Keepers: The Storm Begins by Damian Dibben]].
