Críticas:
'An unusual, enjoyable combination of fantasy thriller and psychological drama with a warmly satisfying ending.' -- Kathryn Ross, The Scotsman (Christmas Picks) 'A dramatic read, well crafted, well sustained and imaginative.' -- Di Hope, Times Education Supplement Scotland 'A most engaging fantasy novel. What might have been a straightforward tussle is enriched and complicated by the personal circumstances of the children... Dynamic and satisfying.' -- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald 'This time-slip novel is a great read: convincingly narrated with good characterisation, a plot full of mystery and suspense, and a palpable sense of history.' -- Booktrusted (www.booktrusted.com) 'A challenging read, with finely-drawn characters... The first of a new series of 'Contemporary Kelpies', this novel is worthy of its famous predecessors.' -- Elizabeth Finlayson, School Librarian Journal 'I thought this book was well-written ... the story is very well done. I would give it marks for originality.' -- Stuart, James Gillespie's High School, Teen Titles
Reseña del editor:
"What do you mean, we are the keys?" Kate asked incredulously. "From time to time, certain people are born whose fate it is to aid or thwart the attempts of Chaos to destroy time. You and David are two such people. Look." As he spoke, the room turned misty around them. Kate and David are eleven-years-old and best of friends, playing football and doing their museum project together. But in Edinburgh, where they live, time is coming unstuck and the past is breaking loose. Old Mr Flowerdew needs their help in the war between the Lords of Chaos and the Guardians of Time, centred around the mysterious Millennium Clock at the Royal Museum. Can Kate use her grandmother's golden necklace to restrain the power of Chaos, and will David be able to help the Guardians, even if it means losing his mother all over again?
