My 10 year old son and I read this together and we both really enjoyed it. Redolent of Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories/Luka and the Fire of Life plus Walter Moers’ Captain Bluebear series, it’s a consistently chuckleworthy, highly imaginative, multi-layered yarn that carried us wackily along its narrative tracks from start to finish. There’s a great cast of characters - from a doddery old dinosaur to an ebullient Ancient Greek philosopher (“Philosophocles”) to some suitably dastardly demons - and the illustrations, which perfectly complement the text, are great fun too. Highly recommended!

I read Aboard the Timeline a couple of weeks ago and I really liked it.
The story starts off with Pete. A typical boy who is particularly bored one day in maths class. He gets so bored that he actually bores himself out of his mind. Time stops and everyone in the classroom is frozen except Pete. Then a dinosaur named Reginald knocks on the door and offers to help Pete get home again. The two of them time travel to ancient Greece to meet Reginald’s friend Philisophicles and the three of them go on an adventure to figure out how to get Pete home.
