Reseña del editor:

Imagine discovering your dad runs a time travel tourist agency! Joey Anthrobus is 13 and a great athlete. The only problem is he can't win races anymore because his life is in turmoil. His dad has been away for ages and now his mum is threatening to leave home. With his best mate, Martin, Joey sets out to find his dad on 'The Olympian' time travel tour through Olympic history via Wenlock and the Cotswolds to Ancient Greece, and gets horribly lost on the way back. In this captivating adventure Joey tries to reunite his family while saving the future of mankind, discovering America and attempting to catch international time thieves whilst narrowly avoiding being eaten, arrested, squashed, run over, lost or drowned.

Biografía del autor:

Peter Templeton Neale was born on a dairy farm in Much Wenlock and has lived in Shropshire all his life. This is his first published novel. He began researching The Olympian in 2005, inspired by the connection between his home town and the London Olympics. The story started as a dramatisation of Wenlock gentleman Dr William Penny Brookes' life, but Peter has read far too many Douglas Adams and HG Wells for it to be a straight and sensible story and The Olympian somehow morphed into a children's time travel adventure quest.
