World Book Day Release: Time School - Author Interview, Review Copies

Hello,

We love World Book Day and it brings us a lot of happiness to be able to help launch a book for children (middle grade) on the big day itself. The author, Nikki Young, is busy doing a lot of school visits this week, but she always works with books and children, as she is an entrepreneur - as well as writing the Time School series. Nikki started a creative writing club for young writers aged 7+ called the Storymakers Club (https://www.storymakersclub.com/) in July 2017. Nikki, who is also a Mum, lives and breathes reading and writing for children and lives in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Please see more information below (in the Advance Information Media Sheet).

We can send you a copy of the new book, with gorgeous cover illustrations by the epic Tim Budgen, and we will have advance reader copies of the second in the series, Time School - We Will Honour Them, due for release in June 2020 (Hashtag Press). We'd also be very happy to offer copies for competition prizes if you want to run something on or after WBD, and we can connect you with the author for editorial commissions about why instilling a love of reading and writing in children outside of schools can do wonders for their confidence (and many other topics) and Nikki is available for media comment and interviews too.

Have a happy World Book Day!

Thanks,
Helen Lewis

ADVANCE INFORMATION MEDIA SHEET

Time School

We Will Remember Them

By Nikki Young

When you're running late for school, then you find your usual train has turned into an old steam train, you know it's not going to be a normal day.

What you don't expect, is that it will be a ‘take you back in time' sort of day.

Jess, Nadia, Tomma and Ash find themselves spending the day at Hickley School one hundred years in the past. They are told stories of bombings, hunger, and fighting, from fellow pupil, Martha, the only person willing to speak to them.

After their time travel adventure, they work out the significance of the year, 1918, and plot to go back. They want to experience a significant moment in history and Jess wants to see Martha again. Not knowing why or how, Jessfeels a connection to Martha, and an obligation towards her that she can't explain.

Going back in time has its risks. Once you go back, there's no way of knowing if you'll be able to make it home.

About the author

Nikki Young is a freelance writer, copywriter and author. She lives in Kent with her husband, three children, a crazy Boston Terrier dog called, Barnie and a rescue cat named, Oscar. She is the author of 'The Mystery of the Disappearing Underpants' an adventure story aimed at seven to nine year-olds and reluctant readers.

Nikki also writes health-related articles, reviews and recipes on her blog, ‘A free-from life'. This blog was a finalist in the 2017 UK Allergy Blog Awards, recognising its provision of health information for food allergy and intolerance sufferers.

Her background is in nutrition, so maintaining a healthy, happy family is extremely important to her. Having a son and a husband, both with different dietary needs has been a challenge and one which has tested her knowledge.

As well as writing middle grade and young adult fiction, Nikki runs Storymakers, a creative writing club for children, which provides weekly courses and holiday workshops for children aged seven and above.
