Okay, color me impressed! You've heard me praise the wonders of Middle Grade fiction and its wonderful authors many a time, and yet it never fails to stun me how much goodness comes out of the books written for this age group. Ross Welford has penned a gem here. Time Traveling With A Hamster simultaneously pulls together the importance of family, the grey areas we face when making hard decisions, the beauty (and issues) associated with being passionate about something, and even owning up to onesHaving read this with my eleven year old son, I think this is a very impressive debut novel so self assured is the writing that it is hard to imagine it is, in fact, a first book. Although this is a childrens book it is probably more suitable for ages 11+ and it deals with some big themes; including major changes and how children adapt to them, the whole dynamics of family life, bereavement and, of course, time travelOur hero is Albert Einstein Hawking Chaudhury (Al for short) oh, and of course
A lovely whimsical story about a boy who travels through time with his hamster on a mission to save his family. The writing is warm, inviting and at times amusing. Set in the North East of England which I enjoyed immensely living in the area. I wanted to give it 3.5 stars but the app wouldn't let me. A great read and real page turner.
A fun and exciting story that I just could not stop reading. And I have to be clear that I am giving this book a 4.5/5 star rating!
For a childrens' book, this packs a real emotional punch.Here we have the story of twelve year old Al Chaudhury who is coming to terms with his dad's shock death and moving away from everything he knows to live with his new step-family.Al is, to put it mildly, something of a eccentric character. His curiosity is limitless, and we get to travel with him on the most amazing journey.With a gripping opening that immediately arouses our interest, we learn that Al's dad invented a time machine and is
'Time Traveling with a Hamster' by Ross Welford is so clever, funny and thrilling, I wish I was reading this book with the fresh eyes of a twelve-year-old, the intended audience (give or take a year or two in either direction)! Instead, since I am a little older, the story reminded me of the Back to the Future movies. Still, this is excellent and exciting time-traveling adventure even for a reader in their sixth decade! I was very reluctant to put it down because each chapter had me on the edge
