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 … Ages 8-12
