About this book:

HE CAN'T LIE, HE CAN'T HARM BUT HE CAN SAVE LIVES

William Arthur is no ordinary teenager. He is a Swidger, a person who can sense future catastrophes and hinder your timepath to certain peril. Only now he’s discovering that his time-bending powers go far beyond mere accident prevention.

After a mind-boggling incident leaves him confused and questioning his place in the world, William is rescued by a wise and bizarre lady by the name of ‘Granny’. Together they embark on an epic journey of hilarity, danger and intrigue. Will he learn the true nature of his gift? And can he evade the dark forces that would use his powers for evil?

ALL WILL BE REVEALED... IN TIME


Reviews:

A rambunctious riot of a book with a totally unpredictable plot – I never knew where I was going to be taken next! – Joseph Elliot, author of The Good Hawk, The Broken Raven and The Burning Swift

Grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. Steve is a master mimic and uses all his skills to create a powerful and dramatic tale of mystery! –
Rory Bremner, BAFTA winning writer and performer

This is a great story for YA readers and grownups who, like William, find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of life. I loved it! – Sonia Beldom, author of Granny Franny’s Big Red Bus

Granny is a great creation and a magnificent character in every sense: engaging, shocking, loveable, embarrassing, bright and very, very funny! It’s all very impressive! – Alistair McGowan

Beguiling, inventive and magical: Nallon has conjured up a perfect world and a perfect read. A dazzling piece of fiction. – Jonathan Maitland

Steve Nallon is an experienced and formidable talent and this departure into YA fantasy may win him a whole new generation of fans. – Jenny Lecoat, screenwriter, novelist and author of Hedy’s Girl and Another Mother’s Son
