About this listen

The astounding new novel from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of Time Travelling with a Hamster, this is a story for everyone of ten and older who loves adventure, laughs and tears.

“One of my favourite middle-grade writers” Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars

When eleven-year-old Georgie befriends an eccentric retired scientist, she becomes the test subject for a thrilling new experiment: a virtual-reality 3D version of the future.

But then a deadly disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and Georgie’s beloved dog, Mr Mash, gets sick. And that’s only the start of her troubles.

Soon, Georgie and Mr Mash must embark on a desperate quest: to save every dog on earth, and maybe even all of humanity …

… without actually leaving the room.

An extraordinary quest with the biggest stakes of all, and a huge idea at its heart, this is time travel – but not as you know it.

Critic reviews

“Welford has done it again, creating a cracking adventure injected with science. He navigates dogs, what makes us tick and keeping the spirit of a loved one alive. I think that’s called having it covered.” The Times Children’s Book of the Week

“How awesome is Ross Welford? Consistently original, believable and filmable (please). A terrific adventure” Observer Children’s Books of the Month

“Will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Welford gets better with each book.” Daily Mail

This is clearly a homage to Enid Blyton and her stores and it does that very well whilst at the same time being more relevant to the 21st century with its tech advances but still keeping that same innocence and awe that children can have, I will be honest and state I bought this by mistake, a sign of my age sadly but I thoroughly enjoyed it, the narration at first annoyed me but after a while I began to relax and enjoy it, I hope the author has more stories planned for these characters because I would certainly listen to more of their adventures

Fabulous homage
