2019 Finalist - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
Tommy doesn’t feel much like a hero, and who would with an unbearable mum, new school ‘blues’ and the threat of the Higgins Twins’ fists on Monday morning. But then a chance meeting with old Mr Petrovsky propels Tommy into a time-travelling, adventure-chasing double life. By day he’s just a normal, messed-up football-loving kid but his nights are spent visiting aliens, fighting mythical creatures and even winning the World Cup! But can he learn to win at school, too? And, when Mr Petrovsky tells Tommy about his childhood escape from Russia, will he have the courage to become a real hero?
A time-travelling, edge-of-your-seat adventure with 27 black and white illustrations by Patrick Hawkins.
