Olive of Groves and the Great Slurp of Time — Katrina Nannestad

'Exciting, imaginative, charming and very, very funny' - Judith Rossell, award-winning author of WITHERING-BY-SEA on OLIVE OF GROVES

'Oh deary, deary me!' Mrs Groves cried. 'It really is! Right here! On the front porch to my esteemed Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers!'

'It's a ... a ... What is it? Not a naughty boy. Not a talking animal. Not even a circus performer. Oh me, oh my! It's a time traveller!'

When last we met Olive, she had defeated school bully and all-round nasty swine, Pig McKenzie, and proved her acrobatic skills, earning herself a place at Groves.

But when a twelve-year-old time traveller lands on the doorstep, trouble is just a minute away, and soon Olive is off on an adventure as big as time itself ...
