It's May 21 1941, thought Johnny. It's war.

Johnny Maxwell and his friends have to do something when they find Mrs Tachyon, the local bag lady, semi-conscious in an alley . . . as long as it's not the kiss of life.

But there's more to Mrs Tachyon than a squeaky trolley and a bunch of dubious black bags. Somehow she holds the key to different times, different eras – including the Blackbury Blitz in 1941. Suddenly now isn't the safe place Johnny once thought it was as he finds himself caught up more and more with then . . .

The third book in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy.

Critic reviews

Enormously entertaining and contains more wry observations than you could shake a Heinkel at
Thrilling and impressively funny
Witty dialogue allied to thought-provoking ideas
All stars

Perfect narration by Tony Robinson. Really original story. Just the four stars though as I'd thought I were getting a whole novel, rather than just the three chapters. Still, enjoyed a lot. Thought provoking.

Brilliant, unique story. Not all that long.

Listened to this as a child and still love it. By far the best of the Johnny Maxwell series.

Just another of Sir Pratchetts wonderful outlooks on life, taking on the enormous task of time-travel and a world torn by war, and giving it a squeaky red nose as only Pratchett can. Again, the dependable Tony Robinson makes the whole thing complete.

Light hearted
