About this listen

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 ears - 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 . . .

Yes! I KNOW it's a children's book - but I have read everything else that he has written! I still enjoy the fun and daftness of his writing, I am also impressed that he always manages to have Good winning over Bad, and his characters are interesting and delightful! I love this man's writing. I always go back to his books if I have had a couple of bad choices and have been disappointed in books - he restores my spirits!

I was very impressed by Richard Mitchley - it's the first time I have heard him and I liked him a lot.

Another fabulous Terry Pratchett book
