Tim & Tito are best mates, despite being completely different. Tim is a mega worrier, and Tito is a doer – keen for action, adventure and excitement.
But one sunny afternoon in Tito’s backyard, they are hanging out when a loud POP sound hits the air. Something small, spiky and strange appears. It hovers over the grass before landing softly. Staring, and open mouthed, the boys see a hatch open and a small green creature appear. Is it an alien? No, it’s a small T-Rex called Oskar.
Oskar’s story of where he came from and how he got in Tim’s backyard is incredible. But Tim and Tito have seen nothing yet. The small spiky capsule is ginormous inside, and as Tito learns about the amazing gadgets and gizmos inside, Tim explores. They learn that it runs on a special fuel that…
“…transforms the impossible into unlikely, the unlikely into plausible, the plausible into possible, the possible into likely and the likely into certain!”
To Tim, none of this seems likely, but to Tito everything is awesome and totally believable. After all, it’s all right in front of them! Tim only starts to believe what’s happening when he realises he’s gained a super power.
This super power is like nothing he’s heard of. He must master it to save the world from fluffy poos, robots and a very evil Artificial Intelligence he warned Oskar about all along.
Chock full of laughs, action, funny illustrations and the impossibly impossible, Tim Possible & the Time-Travelling T-Rex is a fast-moving, completely zany novel for any readers who love a little bonkers in their books!
This is the first in a series, and it will be interesting to know if Oskar will take Tim and Tito on his next adventure through time after invading theirs. These three work together to help Tim with his anxiety, give Tito a thrill a minute, and allow Oskar to survive the meteor that killed all his dinosaur mates millions of years ago.
