BROADBENT, Adele <\/b>Trouble in Time<\/i> Scholastic 2014 260pp NZ$19.50 pbk ISBN 9781775432265 SCIS 1678039<\/p>\n

At its best, this book is reminiscent of de Goldi\u2019s The 10pm Question<\/i> and the picaresque adventures set in New Zealand by Jack Lasenby.\u00a0 A sympathetically drawn protagonist finds himself able to go back to the youth of his grandfather.\u00a0 Unfortunately his nemesis discovers how to time travel too and the book explores the way the \u2018future\u2019 can affect the \u2018past\u2019 and vice versa.\u00a0 Lightly done, and not over-ambitious in realisation despite the big topic, are two reasons why the book succeeds.<\/p>\n
