Once again, the brilliantly talented M.G. Leonard takes her readers on an incredible adventure through time and place. Layered with symbolism, the unique connection between time and music challenges readers to think afresh about their experiences with sound and rhythm. Perhaps they too are a time key who can open doors to the past with a single note!
After visiting the mysteries of Ancient Egypt, the Norse world of Vikings and perilous Ancient Rome, this fourth heart-stopping, time travelling adventure journeys to Tudor England – to the time of the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, the rise of the great Elizabeth I and the piracy or privateering (depending on how you look at it) of Sir Francis Drake. Sim, Jeopardy and Nelson continue to investigate the sinister Council of Keys while trying to find Sim’s father in 1587 London. When Uncle Emmett leads them to Plymouth instead, the trio find themselves onboard the Elizabeth Bonaventure. They quickly learn not to board one of Sir Francis Drake’s ships unless they want to sail straight into battle with Spain!
Writing in a hugely engaging child-friendly yet challenging style, M.G. Leonard is so respectful of her readers’ abilities to solve mysteries and cope with complex plots. Every detail brings the time period to life, providing rich insight about key historical figures and events that will inspire children to find out more. This series fits perfectly into the Key Stage 2 History curriculum by providing high quality class reads that enhance lesson topics.
