A Good Read!
This book demands attention right from the beginning as it highlights the traumatic experiences of Alโs life like the death of his father, feelings of suspense and adventure when Al is out to test his fatherโs time machine and save him from dying. Towards the middle and end the story expresses the meaning of true friendship and the emotions of losing someone very close to your heart. Overall this book is an amalgam of different emotions and truly a must read for all the adventure lovers out there! However, the book also highlights disturbing experiences like being forgotten by the people closest to you and doing illicit things like stealing scooters and trespassing which might be a bad impression to the younger minds.

Unexpected ending
Enjoying reading it and I would say all the books from this writer are recommended to 13+ as their some words which are not suitable for a child to go through. Otherwise it was super awesome and I liked it a lot . The best one that I think till now is the *The Thousand Year old boy* which super interesting .This can be recommended for 13+ as a gift.โจ I have read almost all the the novel from this writer and in hope of completing till end of June 2023.

My eleven year old loved it!
My eleven year old is a voracious reader and absolutely loved this story of would-be heroic hamster trying to save the day. Clean and fun and even a plot twist we didn't see coming. Well done!

Probably the best hamster associated time travel fiction I've ever read!
Ross Welford is fast become one of my favourite Middle Grade Fiction authors and this amazing novel has all the ingredients for a classic of the genre. The twisty-turny plot is deliciously complicated and the book is never predictable. Loaded with lashings of humour, sympathetic characters and a very relatable motivations, this is an excellent read.

perfetto per migliorare il proprio inglese
Fiaba per bambini, comprata per imparare/migliorare l'inglese. Storia super cute, molto dolce. Lessico facile e scorrevole, adatto anche a uno che non conosce moltissimo la lingua.

Excellent from first word to last
I adored this book! It has that rare quality of being easy to read, yet extremely well-written, and a little bit deep in a way that has you thinking about it long after you have finished it. Like John Green's 'A Fault in Our Stars', it includes literary references in a very digestible way, particularly a genius presentation of TS Eliot's key lines from A Four Quartets. The basic premise is the big existential quantum physics "spacetime dimensional thingy" underpinning a funny, original, adventurous, moving, contemporary-yet-old-fashioned story, full of twists and turns, satisfying pay-offs and a wonderful end. The intricacies of family and inter-generational relationships are beautifully explored; I laughed and cried and thought about my own. The North East setting of the tale is a breath of fresh air too. It's the kind of book you want to devour to find out what happens, yet eke out at the same as you don't want it to be over. A rollicking good read for any age, definitely not "just" for tweens.
