Redolent of Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories/Luka and the Fire of Life plus Walter Moers’ Captain Bluebear series, it’s a consistently chuckleworthy, highly imaginative, multi-layered yarn that carried us wackily along its narrative tracks from start to finish.
“My 10 year old son and I read this together and we both really enjoyed it.
Here is a quote from a teacher on Amazon: Bastian manages to keep the reader engaged page after page, with clever puns and witty plays on words, which makes his story even more entertaining. Ultimately, Pete is asked to make a difference, and the question is whether he is up to the task?Īnyone who has a passion for words and wordplay will enjoy reading “Aboard the Timeline” In this wonderful children’s book, Bastian takes us on an adventure with his main character Pete, a young boy who at first seems to be lost (in many more ways than one!) but who ultimately finds his way together with the help of his companions, the lovely dinosaur Reginald and the ancient Greek thinker, Philosophocles. Here he befriends various living beings in different worlds, and along the way becomes aware of a constant conflict going on in these different lands.
One day he becomes so bored, and time stands still and he escapes to Outermind. It's the story of a bored boy, Pete who doesn't find anything interesting at school.
