"We thought the book's concept was original, with a highly readable voice and likeable central character in Billy." - Literary Agent"I think the story is fantastically written and so engaging. The book works so well because of the writing and the entire plot." - Literary Agent."As an adult I really enjoyed the story despite the roots of the novel being written for children." - Beta Reader. What would you do if you were given the chance to change the past and prevent the accident that hurt your parent? It was a question that Billy Wheeler found easy to answer.Given an opportunity to compete in the famous Space-Time Tournament, it isn't glory that Billy seeks, but a chance to make his wish a reality. Join Billy and his best friend Katie in the year 2102 as he competes in the tournament. Travel to Kielder Forest, the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest to witness Billy using his humour, wit and bravery during the remarkable pursuit of his big idea - the one that could change everything. Billy's story came to life many years ago. As a 9 year old, my son struggled to find a book that both excited him and challenged his reading ability because most of the books he brought from school with were just too scary for him. So it was, that Billy came to be. Whilst being 'written for children', with a Flesch Kincaid level matching Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, it's accessible and enjoyable for a broad range of ages.
