Waiting on Wednesday - Girl About Time

Having recently done a time-travel theme with my children's reading group, I'm looking forward to this one which is aimed more at girls - supplementing the more boys-oriented TimeRiders and Jack Christie Adventures.

Girl About Time by Kerstin Gier will be published in April 2012 by Chicken House.

Every family has secrets. But what do you do if you find out that you are the family secret?

That’s what happens to Gwen when she finds herself unbelievably transported from out on the town to turn-of-the-century London. It’s enough to make any girl dizzy!

Then she discovers that she’s not the only time-traveller in the world. She’s stuck between the centuries with a gorgeous boy called Gideon and pursued by a sinister secret society determined to change the past. It gives a whole new meaning to dating.

A funny, thrilling and romantic time-travelling adventure series for girls starring a heroine as determined as Doctor Who.

Written by bestselling German author, Kerstin Gier, the book has sold more than 100,000 copies in Germany (published as Rubinrot).

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine.
