Book Synopsis

A page-turning, laugh-out-loud historical adventure by comedian and broadcaster Iszi Lawrence (as seen on Netflix and Sky History), perfect for fans of Horrible Histories.

Sunil and his inventor friend Alex have a problem. Alex’s time machine wants to go time-travelling all by itself! When it turns up in a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Sunil and Alex must go on a quest through time to collect all the pictures, tiles and tapestries of the machine and bring them back to the present. Join their journey to meet Da Vinci, the architect of Taj Mahal Ahmad Lohri, the women who embroidered the Bayeux Tapestry and Imhotep and the artists working on the Pyramid of Giza. This is art history like you’ve never seen it before!

Our Review Panel says...

We love this series about time travel and each volume is just right in length and format for 7-9 year olds.

In this latest adventure, Alex and Sunil hop into the machine and blip through different eras associated with art.

The story is a brilliant hook for art history, letting readers meet famous artists up close as Sunil works on his own project. The history facts are woven directly into the pages and this is a fun way to pick up new information as the story unfolds. With the greedy Mr Shaykes constantly trying to loot historical treasures, it’s an entertaining and only mildly perilous adventure that’s sure to be a hit in Lower Key Stage 2.
