Synopsis "Lily Tripp: Diary of an Accidental Time Traveller"
Meet accidental time traveller Lily Tripp as she bounces throughout history navigating friendship dramas, first love and family. It's Lottie Brooks meets Back to the Future!
Every New Year's Day, Lily Tripp time travels and wakes up in a new century. She's lived in Roman times and the Victorian era and never knows where she'll end up next. Thank goodness her bestie, family and secret crush all time travel with her too...even if they don't know it.
But how will she live in a time before chicken nuggets were invented? Why are her brother's clothes so ridiculous in every era? And how on earth can she cope with being mean girl Georgia's servant?!
This gorgeous time-travelling debut is one for every children's shelf. Highly entertaining... Tait is superb at inhabiting Lily's unguarded adolescent conscience, and her simply told story of a modern girl's attempts to navigate a world without telephones or chicken nuggets will find huge appeal - The Telegraph, Children's Book of the Week
