Time Travelling with a Hamster

Product Information

Ibegan writing Time Travelling With A Hamster in 2014. Itwas published in January 2016. My second book, What Not To Do If You Turn Invisiblefollowed a year later. Welford was born in Cullercoats, a small seaside town in the north-east of England. He attended Marden High School and studied English at Leeds University before becoming a magazine journalist and then a television producer. [1] [2] Career [ edit ] Jenna Welch, age 11- 'This book really creates a life-like gripping atmosphere whilst you read it. Welford spins a truly good yarn with brilliant characterisation throughout the book. Great for pet lovers.' Despite me enjoying children’s books, this was perhaps a little young for me to fully fall in love with, but I did thoroughly enjoy it, and think it is a great book for teenagers and older children who are confident readers. Plus, this would make a fun story for parents to read to their children too.

There’s a bit of the Geordie dialect in all of my books. I thought it would be helpful for some readers – especially non-Brits – to get an idea of how this actually sounds. My dad died twice. Once when he was thirty-nine, and again four years later when he was twelve. (He’s going to die a third time as well, which seems a bit rough on him, but I can’t help that.)” Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Touching, silly and exciting by turns, this thrilling little book is an inventive take on time travel for children. Sure to be a hit with fans of R.J. Palacio's Wonder… an unforgettable, madcap story from a bright new talent in children’s fiction."I have experience taking hamsters on lots of long car trips (up to 12 hour trips, pretty much nonstop), and they are a little twitchy, but they will get used to it, especially if you bring their usual food and bedding with you. Grandma Julie’s parents didn’t come to their wedding. Grandpa Byron says they were too busy, but that seems odd to me. Perhaps they were racists and didn’t like her marrying Grandpa Byron. Everyone was a racist in 1972, apparently.”

aw! it's so cute, but i dunno because i'm going on holiday for a week to Holland and was wondering if i could take my hamster on the train and all? I loved the exploration of family, it felt like the biggest theme in this book. Because of this crazy time-travel element, the family-unit was all over the place. And it was great. I don't think that I can put into words how amazing this book is. Reading it was like going on a roller-coaster of emotions.The first time had nothing to do with me. The second time definitely did, but I would never even have been there if it hadn’t been for his ‘time machine’…” I AM. IN. LOVE. This is officially the best cover buy I ever made, I saw this book in my local bookstore, never heard of it before, the cover was so catchy and I looked up and saw this: Okay, color me impressed! You've heard me praise the wonders of Middle Grade fiction and its wonderful authors many a time, and yet it never fails to stun me how much goodness comes out of the books written for this age group. Ross Welford has penned a gem here. Time Traveling With A Hamster simultaneously pulls together the importance of family, the grey areas we face when making hard decisions, the beauty (and issues) associated with being passionate about something, and even owning up to ones own mistakes. I am so thrilled to have read this, and can't recommend it enough!
