Synopsis
The old Dublin Button Factory hides a secret. There, Jessie meets a boy who walks through walls but can't remember his own name, and discovers the Timecatcher, a swirling, powerful Magic, which every seven years reveals the past, both good and bad, in a jumble of days. The Timecatcher is about to open now, and there are those who will go to any lengths to control it. Jessie and her friends - both ghosts and human - must stop them, before it's too late.
A fast-paced ghostly adventure, sparkling with humour and heart.

The story of a twelve year old girl who gets sucked into defending the mysterious Timecatcher, this book is fun and jaw-droppingly clever... I absolutely loved this book!

Full of magic, ghosts and mysteries this is an appealing story for the able upper Keystage 2 reader. WRITE AWAY With a mix of extraordinary characters the plot advances in a vortex towards disaster. Timecatcher is a thoroughly entertaining read for age 11 to mid teens IRISH EXAMINER (Weekend) a fast-paced novel, full of surprises. IRISH TIMES This book is captivating, gripping and amazing. Anyone who loves invention of new things would really love to read this book. TEEN TITLES
