Time Travel is NOT my Superpower

Author: Nathanael Lessore

Sara, Georgie and Javier are friends and in their town of Walsham, everyone including children, has a superpower. During their history class, Sara, who can teleport, accidentally transports the three of them plus their mortal enemy, Jock, who can transform into a fly, to 2002.

How are they going to get back to their own time, from a time so old-fashioned? They must not interact with anyone, for fear of changing the timeline and consequently their existence.

This is an extremely funny, time-travelling comedy requiring suspension of disbelief from older readers. It will be thoroughly enjoyed by young readers of around nine years old, many of whom will be spellbound by the mayor of Walsham, who can fart in colour! It is amusing for older readers to realise what children currently consider historic. There will be huge attraction for those who are often put off by longer texts, as this is highly and comically illustrated throughout in a graphic novel style. The opening section could almost be counted as a graphic novel.
