Sobre este título
Catapulted back in time by a mysterious machine, Eric joins forces with a young Ada Lovelace to find a way home in this time-slip adventure from acclaimed author Lindsay Galvin.
When Eric Finch discovers a mysterious machine hidden in his attic, he realises that his mother has been keeping a huge secret.
A brilliant mathematician, Eric’s mother has used designs from an old journal belonging to her ancestor Ada Lovelace to build the machine, but Eric has no idea how it works or what it does.
Unable to resist tinkering with the machine, Eric finds himself thrust into an unforgettable adventure. But his actions have also threatened the very fabric of time, with possibly terrifying consequences …
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

"Classic Lindsay Galvin: pacey, page-turny – and pure magic!" – Lucy Strange
"Engaging and dramatic; Eric Finch discovers a Time Engine in his attic designed by his ancestor, Ada Lovelace, and built by his equally gifted mother. A thrilling adventure ensues which leads to new beginnings." — UKLA Teacher Judge 2025/2026
"The perfect combination of adventure, fantasy, history and emotion … Lindsay Galvin's exceptional wordsmithing, keeping the pace and content but the language digestible … For any fans of The Elixir, or lovers of fantasy and adventure, this is one to make sure you get ordered. And while you go off to do that, I’m going to check my attic for any time machines…" — From Pen and Page, blogger
"As with every book that I've read by Lindsay Galvin this is pacey and immersive read. The Time Engine is a blend of science and fiction; a perfect mix when you also add in a historical figure – Ada Lovelace … an energetic and enjoyable read; there is a real depth to the characters and the plot is deeply engaging." – NetGalley review
