The Time Travel Twins

All that stands between an evil villain and world domination is a pair of twelve-year-olds who just learned they're time travellers. What could go wrong?

Twins Pew and Basket Church dream of escaping the gloomy orphanage where they grew up. Or, even better, the return of their unknown parents.

But even in their wildest dreams, they never imagined the truth. They can travel through time!

Armed only with perplexing clues to their past and a time travel talisman that is key to their future, Pew and Basket embark on an epic quest. Their voyage takes them from battlefields to pirate colonies, all in a race to uncover the secrets of their family - and outsmart time's greatest villain.

History, adventure and mystery collide in this delightfully clever romp through space and time.
