Sunil’s extraordinary neighbour Alex has built a time machine next door and they travel on historical adventures that will make readers sparkle with curiosity. Lesser known fabulous facts about real-life characters in history burst into life! Plus there’s trouble closer to home with the mysterious Mr. Shaykes, the inventive milkshake maker and local café owner - and his nosey pet Kiwi, who certainly isn’t native to Manchester! 

Join their adventures in The Time Machine Next Door: Explorers and Milkshakes as Sunil and Alex meet some of the world’s greatest historical explorers including astronaut Neil Armstrong; and in the freezing Antarctic, Ernest Shackleton. 

In the second book, The Time Machine Next Door: Scientists and Stripy Socks, the adventurous team meet a very cross Sir Isaac Newton, a delightful Charles Darwin and his worms and a frustrated Caroline Herschel who seems to need a pair of stripy socks! It’s dangerous and exciting but not quite everything goes to plan, especially as Alex doesn’t precisely know how time travel works… 

The Time Machine Next Door series is also making history: it is the first time Bloomsbury Education has published two books in the same series, by the same author, on the same day! 

Rebellions and Superboots as well as Rule Breakers and Kiwi Keepers are out in April 2024.
