Time Travelling with a Hamster

Time Travelling with a Hamster is an extraordinary debut that blends humour with heartfelt moments, told across time and generations for adventure-loving readers of all ages. It opens with Al Chaudhury reflecting on how his dad “died twice”: first at thirty-nine, and again four years later when he was twelve.

On Al’s twelfth birthday, his beloved Grandpa Byron gives him a letter from Al’s late father. The message sets Al a mission: to travel back to 1984 in a secret time machine and save his father’s life. As Al begins to understand what the journey demands, he discovers that time travel calls for daring and imagination, alongside a string of risky choices.

Synopsis

Al’s mission comes with complications. It involves lies, theft, setting his school on fire and ignoring Grandpa Byron’s philosophical advice, all while trying not to lose his pet hamster, Alan Shearer. The story unfolds as a funny, heart-warming race against time and across generations.
