Description
A haunting story of friendship and time-travel unfolds in Elsetime. In January 1928, Glory Bobbin, a twelve-year-old orphan, works at The Frippery and Fandangle Emporium creating jewellery with her secret assistant, a peculiar crow. When she meets Needle Luckett, a treasure-hunting mudlark who has travelled through time to reach Inthington, the fate of fourteen lives hangs in the balance. A snow storm has engulfed the town, and the river is about to burst its banks. Can Glory, Needle, and their mysterious crow save those endangered by the flood? The story takes a thrilling turn as they try to change the future. Cover and internal illustrations by Holly Ovenden add an extra layer of magic to this captivating tale. With its unique blend of adventure, friendship, and time-travel, Elsetime is a compelling read for children aged 9+.
