Özet

We fight crime across time. Leaplings, children born on the 29th of February, are very rare. Rarer still are Leaplings with The Gift - the ability to leap through time.

Elle Bíbi-Imbelé Ifíè has The Gift, but she's never used it. Until now. On her 12th birthday, Elle and her best friend, Big Ben, travel to the Time Squad Centre in 2048.

Elle has received a mysterious warning from the future. Other Leaplings are disappearing in time - and not everyone at the centre can be trusted. Soon Elle's adventure becomes more than a race through time. It's a race against time. She must fight to save the world as she knows it - before it ceases to exist.

It was okay. I didn’t enjoy the performance and found the story difficult to follow at times.

Great main character

I loved this story it was fast paced, unusual and fun. The performance was really excellent - so many voices, tones, expressions. Really bright it crackling to life!

Fabulous performance

I really wanted to like this book - the idea is surprisingly original. Yet, I feel the author has written this for her peers rather than her audience. If you're going to use a 'popular issues on Twitter' checklist, at least make these points integral to the plot. I can't understand how such a great idea for a story can make for such a dull book. Nothing really happens and the characters never seem to be in any actual peril, and therefore do not go on any form of journey. I just felt like I was being told off.
The only character that is written with any heart is the Nigerian grandmother, the rest are dreadfully one-dimensional. Oh, and in my personal and professional experience of young people on the autistic spectrum, they just do not talk in the manner the main character is narrated in. None I have ever worked with have ever uttered the phrase 'I am autusic', and any writer worth their salt would be able to communicate through exposition (Siobhan Dowd's London Eye Mystery is a great example).
A real shame.

Dreadful...
