Synopsis
The second book in the award-winning time travel adventure series for all ages. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Skandar, Skulduggery Pleasant, and Doctor Who.
Becky and Joe Mellor return to Bowen Hall for the half term holidays to find things are as unusual as ever. Of course, that's to be expected when you're sharing a stately home with a dinosaur, a winged horse, two sabre-tooth tigers, Will Scarlet and Bowen Hall's latest resident - a dodo named Deirdre.
Things, however, get more intriguing when American time traveller, Bruce Westbrook, arrives with two gold doubloons that seem to possess strange, supernatural powers.
So begins a thrilling adventure that leads Becky, Joe, Uncle Percy and Will to 1920s Chicago, Victorian Edinburgh and the 18th Century Caribbean - battling gangsters, pirates, sea-monsters and zombie sharks on a quest for the legendary Pandora's Box...
The clock is still ticking.
There are nine books so far in the Time Hunters saga: ‘The Time Hunters’,'The Time Hunters and the Box of Eternity', 'The Time Hunters and the Spear of Fate', 'The Time Hunters and the Sword of Ages', 'The Time Hunters and the Lost City', 'The Time Hunters and the Wraith's Revenge', 'The Time Hunters and the Odin Horn', 'The Time Hunters and the Blessed Isle' and 'The Time Hunters and the Silent Child.'
