Description
Luke's dad has bought a lot of gadgets recently and not one of them works as it's supposed to. Maybe it's because a machine-from-the-future is stalking Bromley, playing havoc with all the tech and trying to stop Star Lad going on a date. Could this be the Rise of the Machines?
Luke knows what he must do - he just needs his fellow SCARF members to help or it will be the end of everything...
My Cousin Is a Time Traveller by David Solomons is a thrilling adventure that blends humour with sci-fi, capturing the imaginations of young readers.
