About this listen

Mara and her dad have lived in their van for as long as she can remember. Whatever her father does to scrape a living has kept them constantly moving, and Mara has never questioned it. That is until she uncovers a collection of notes addressed to ‘the Tider’, an individual responsible for harvesting lost time from people whose lives were cut short.

But before Mara can question her father, he is taken by a dangerous group who want to use his power for evil. With the very fabric of time and space at stake, it’s down to Mara and her new friend Jan to find him before it’s too late...

'An explosive, thought-provoking adventure in book form. Beautifully strange.' (Eve McDonnell, author of Elsetime)

'Intricate and intense, The Time Tider is an adventure story like no other. As the momentum builds, you’ll be hanging on to every second.' (Rachel Delahaye, author of Mort the Meek)

'This is a wonderful, rip-roaring adventure, packed with non-stop action and laced together with friendship, heart and wisdom. I absolutely loved it.' (Sharon Gosling, author of The Diamond Thief)

I like the adventure that mara had when trying to find her father( and I also like the part were mara makes sure there is no chocolate left in her mouth).

One of the best books ever
