Ross Welford,  Time Travelling with a Hamster,  HarperCollins,  1 Feb 2016,  391pp.,  $14.99 (pbk),  ISBN 9780008156312

Alan Shearer is the name of the said hamster that belongs to Al or Pye in the time warp of this fast paced and engaging time travelling tale.  With an array of well drawn characters, set in the present and the nineteen eighties, the pace never flags and the action is is always almost believable.  Packed with interesting historical snippets and a good dose of humour and nostalgia, the strength of the story lies in the life affirming  relationships and the optimistic conclusion.

Recommended.
