A Chase In Time
From multi-award-winning author Sally Nicholls, A Chase In Time is the first in a brilliant time-slip adventure series for 7+ readers, beautifully illustrated inside by Rachael Dean, with cover illustrations by Isabelle Follath. The old gilt-edged mirror has hung in Alex's aunt's house for as long as he can remember. Alex hardly notices it, until the day he and his sister are pulled through the mirror, back into 1912. It's the same house, but a very different place to live, and the people they meet need their help. Soon they're caught up in car chases and treasure hunts as they race to find a priceless golden cup - but will they ever be able to return to their own time? A fast-paced adventure full of car chases, arson and cake! 'A clever vehicle for introducing the differences between then and now in an accessible way, with a fast-paced plot and a lovely spooky ending' - The Times on A Chase in Time Have you read Alex and Ruby's other adventures: A Christmas in Time, An Escape in Time and A Secret in Time?
Alex tried to pull his arm back, but found that he couldn't. It was like falling downhill in slow motion, except he was falling inside the mirror. Ruby said, "Alex, what's happening?" "I don't know-" Alex said, and landed with a thump on his hands and knees. "Ow!" said Ruby, behind him. Standing in front of them were two children, who were both screaming. The boy scrambled backwards, so he was pressed as close to the girl as he could get. The girl pu her arm around him. They both looked terrified. "Are you witches?" said the girl. "No," said Alex. "I'm a boy. I'd be a wizard. But I'm just a boy. Where are we?" "England," said the boy. "I say, though - you can't just be an ordinary boy. You walked right out of a looking glass. Did you come from Looking-Glass Land, like in Alice?"
