Time Travelling with a Hamster

Product Information

Non-Brits often have trouble understanding Geordie. It’s said that the singer Cheryl Cole was dropped from the US edition of The X-Factor because audiences had trouble with her accent. After university, I moved to London and became a journalist and then, after a few years, a television producer. Viaje en el tiempo con un hámster es una novela del autor Ross Welford que narra las peripecias de un joven cuyo padre ha fallecido, y le ha dejado una máquina del tiempo con la intención de que le salve de su muerte. Con esta premisa como telón de fondo, el libro se adentra en temas tan profundos como la muerte de un padre y cómo ello afecta al resto de la familia y a su propio futuro; también trata sobre la amistad y el amor entre otros temas. Este libro está orientado hacia un público más bien juvenil (+14 años), aunque estoy segura de que los adultos disfrutarán igual con él, de la misma manera que yo lo he hecho.

Only one Geordie word was changed for the US edition, and that was “ha’way”. Ha’way, or “howay” is heard everywhere in the northeast of England, and means simply “come on”. All the ha’ways in the US book were replaced with “come on”.Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks. Home > I first becameinterested in magic at the age of six when I was given amagic set by my Gran forChristmas. I loved watching magic on TV and when I was a TV producer I made“Max Magic” for Sky TV, starring Max Somerset. I AM. IN. LOVE. This is officially the best cover buy I ever made, I saw this book in my local bookstore, never heard of it before, the cover was so catchy and I looked up and saw this: Albert Einstein Hawking Chaudhury is celebrating his twelfth birthday with his mom, stepdad Steve, his stepsister Carly, and his grandpa Bryon. One of his presents is a hamster! Al names him Alan Shearer. Well, actually Steve suggests the name, but Al likes it. Al knows Steve is really trying to be friends, but Al can't accept it, although he is polite. His real dad died when Al was eight years old, he still misses his dad, Pie (Pythagoras).

Ibegan writing Time Travelling With A Hamster in 2014. Itwas published in January 2016. My second book, What Not To Do If You Turn Invisiblefollowed a year later.Jenna Welch, age 11- 'This book really creates a life-like gripping atmosphere whilst you read it. Welford spins a truly good yarn with brilliant characterisation throughout the book. Great for pet lovers.' The book is a kids book so I started reading this to my daughter, straight away I could see her eyes glazing over, it was way to technical for her, so I decided to read this to myself. I enjoyed it, slow to start but once Albert's dad starts explaining the science behind time travel and also explaining Einstein's theories in a language I could understand I was hooked. Albert's Grandad has gotta be one of the coolest ever. En cuanto a los personajes, todos y cada uno de ellos están muy bien desarrollados, siendo todos muy tiernos y dulces. Al, nuestro protagonista, es un chico que tiene pocos amigos y una personalidad algo reservada, pero sin duda es uno de los que más evoluciona a lo largo del libro, desarrollando una personalidad más fuerte y con una mayor confianza en sí mismo. Por otra parte, nos encontraremos con uno de los abuelos más entrañables de la literatura y con el que mejor memoria tiene.
