Tucker's Time Machine Telescope by Robin Bennett Illustrated by Matt Cherry #Review
Thomas Tucker (or just Tuckerto everyone who knows him) is walking innocently down the street when he is attacked by a chicken and falls down a hole. Unlikely as it sounds, this is how he ends up finding the Time Machine Telescope.
Unfortunately, Tucker seems to attract chaos and badluck the same way that someone standing on top of a mountain waving a metal pole will eventually attract lightning and a free Xray.
Can he survive killer robots, Tudor kings, dinosaurs ... and Kylo Hens long enough to complete his Time Machine Wish List?
- GET RICH
- HAVE FUN!
- GET MUM AND DAD TO SPEND LESS TIME ON THEIR MOBILE PHONES
There’s only one way to find out...
This humorous read is ideal for middle grade readers. Divided into short chapters, the text is easily accessible, punctuated by Matt Cherry's black and white illustrations. Tucker is a great central character who deals with a series of chaotic events. The Time Machine Telescope introduces some zany events, ranging from Tudor times , through the future and back to the 1940's. You feel that a second story has been set up at the end and with all of time and space, the possibilities are endless.
Cat and Mouse say... Time to move on!
The Author
When Robin grew up he thought he wanted to be a cavalry officer until everyone else realised that putting him in charge of a tank was a very bad idea. He then became an assistant gravedigger in London. After that he had a career frantically starting businesses (everything from dog-sitting to cigars, tuition to translation)... until finally settling down to writeimprobable stories to keep his children from killing each other on long car journeys. Robin plays most sports. Poorly.
