*** Contest: WIN a signed copy of TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow

Thanks to the very generous people at Puffin Books I have THREE SIGNED COPIES of TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow and a TimeRiders T-shirt to give away. I posted a review of TimeRiders yesterday - it is a brilliant time travel adventure full of action and memorable characters.

In order to win a copy of this book all you have to do is tell me in the comments box which period in time you would like to travel to and why? That's it - all very simple isn't it?! If you also publicly follow my blog then that will give you an extra entry into the competition. Sorry to any international readers but this contest is for UK entrants only.

The first name drawn at random after the closing date will win a signed copy of the book and a t-shirt, the next two names will each get a copy of the book. Deadline for your comments is 8pm Tuesday 16th February. Please leave a coded email address with your comment (or email me directly at bookzone4boys(at)gmail(dot)com) so I know how to contact you should you be one of the lucky winners.

  1. I would love to go back and see if Atlantis really existed as I think it would be really cool to know if the stories about it are true.

  2. Brilliant! Have been eagerly anticipating this for some time. Though I may have to fight my son for the copy when it actually comes out...

    I would also have to travel in space as well as time, as the period I'd most like to visit would be ancient Egypt: I'd love to see the building of the Pyramids, the temple at Aswan, and a multitude of other things firsthand. Even if, given my likely status in society, I'd have to appreciate them while bringing water for the workers...

  3. I am currently reading Diana Gabaldon's time-travel historical fiction 'Outlander' series. So I think I'd feel obliged to head back to the 1760s just to find out if Scottish men really were as sexy back then as she portrays them to be.

  4. PS - Have you read Timothy Zahn's Dragonback series? Absolutely brilliant for age 10 plus (I would think) boys, although I am a forty year old woman and I loved it too!

  5. I would love to go back, back, back and see how Stone Henge and places like that actually happened. It boggles the brain that it was done without diggers and cranes etc.

  6. I'd love to go back to the early 2th Century to see how whether there was a great 'British Spirit' that we're missing now or whether people look back with rose tinted glasses on hard times! I follow your blog and twitter - CazApr1 on Twitter so you can DM me if I (fingers crossed) win!

  7. I'd love to travel to Easter Island and tell the poor folks there to stop making those big stone heads because it ain't gonna make the Gods happy...plus it's going to wipe out all the trees (used to tranposrt the giant stone-heads down to the shoreline) resulting in a catastrophic collapse of the island's eco-system and the end of the islanders' civilization!

    nb: excellent competition (and excellent blog) by the way!

  10. I would like to travel the future, say 20 yrs from now and see if we made any progress in slowing down our destruction of the planet - after that morbid job, it would be interesting to check up on my children and see what they're like as adults - frightening!!

  11. I'd like to go back to the late 19th century, but only as a rich woman as I want to wear one of those beautiful dresses with corsets and frills.

  12. I'm fascinated by late 18th/early 19th century England. I know that it would be a less than pleasant time to live in (I like having indoor plumbing thank you) but I would still love to see it.

  18. I'd like to travel to April 10th 1912, so I could see the Titanic set sail from Southampton.
