The third book in the series for 9-12 year olds, teaching world history through exciting time travel adventures.
Matt, Ben, Nicky and Kris live in Coolongawong, a small town in New South Wales, Australia. They have spent the last two years with the school's most popular teacher, Mr Mac, in his magic classroom. They discovered early on that by saying some magic words and tripping on a creaky floorboard, they could be transported back in time to experience first-hand, exciting, historic and sometimes dangerous events.
Now they are about to start Year Seven at high school and must leave the magic classroom behind.
But Mr Mac has suggested a possible solution to this and, if it works out, it’s one that will lead to many more exciting escapades. But things don’t go to plan and Matt has to introduce his younger sister, Olivia, to the magic.
The children visit the Great Wall of China, spend time with the Incas, watch a cobra and mongoose fight near the Taj Mahal, join Drake, meet pirates, experience the Crimean War, live in a ghetto in World War II, narrowly escape death on board the Hindenburg, and have many more adventures into the past.
