Description

Travel back to a world at war with the thrilling children's history series.

Everything was ready. The air was thick with excitement. This was D-Day . . .

Prepare to enter the most dramatic conflict the world has ever seen, as historian Dominic Sandbrook takes us on a spine-tingling, heart-stopping adventure.

Because in total war, no life is left untouched...

The Adventures in Time series brings the past alive for twenty-first century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood. The only difference is they actually happened . . .
