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!'

She was quite flabbergasted at the sight of it.

Finally, however, she managed to get the words out.

'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 ...
