|summary=Twelve-year-old Jack Morrow thinks his life is going to be complicated when he discovers his father is being sent to prison. He has no idea just how extraordinary the next few weeks are going to be.

Jack's mother was killed when he was a young boy and now, just before his thirteenth birthday, he learns that his father is leaving him too — for a spell in prison. And then things get seriously weird, because his long-dead grandfather appears to warn him that his life in in danger. The old man is closely followed by a bunch of murderous creatures called the Dustmen, and in order to escape them Jack is forced to flee back to 1940, using a sorrowline.

A classic time travel story is [[A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle]], which despite its age still grips young readers. And if you fancy some light relief, try [[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time by Frank Cottrell Boyce]] — priceless!
