Look insideGideon the Cutpurse

When an anti-gravity time machine catapults Peter and Kate into 1763, they’re stranded in a nightmare. As a massive police hunt searches for the children back in the 21st century, in 1763 a fearsome criminal, the Tar Man, steals the anti-gravity machine and vanishes into the filthy London streets. Stuck in a hostile underworld of crooks and highwaymen, Peter and Kate have no choice but to chase the Tar Man back to his lair. On the way they are helped by a reformed cutpurse, Gideon – but is Gideon’s dark past about to catch up with them all? A thrilling time-travel adventure drenched in historical flavour.
