Ross Welford Audio Collection: Time Travelling with a Hamster, What Not to Do If You Turn Invisible, The 1,000 Year Old Boy

Three extraordinary adventures from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author Ross Welford. TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER ’My dad died twice. Once when he was thirty-nine and again four years later when he was twelve.’ On Al Chaudhury’s twelfth birthday his beloved Grandpa Byron gives him a letter from Al’s late father. In it Al receives a mission: travel back to 1984 in a secret time machine and save his father’s life. WHAT NOT TO DO IF YOU TURN INVISIBLE Turning invisible at will: it’s one way of curing your acne. But far more drastic than thirteen year-old Ethel Leatherhead intended when she tried a combination of untested medicines and a sunbed. It’s fun at first, being invisible. And aided by her friend Boydy, she manages to keep her extraordinary ability secret. Or does she…? THE 1,000-YEAR-OLD BOY Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England. Obviously no one believes him. So, when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to live… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die. The magic of Ross Welford's storytelling lies in his ability to combine elements of fantasy, action, and technology in a way that appeals to children and parents alike. His books, consistently topping bestseller lists, tackle social themes in a way that is accessible to juvenile readers. For fans of Christopher Edge (The Longest Night of Charlie Noon), Katherine Rundell (The Wolf Wilder), Maz Evans (Beyond the Odyssey), Ben Miller (Diary of a Big Bad Wolf), and J M Forster (Bad Hair Days).
