It's time for a new hero . . . The swashbuckling first book in an explosive new series.

Imagine if you lost your parents - not just in place, but in time.

Jake Djones' mum and dad have gone missing and they could be anywhere in the world - at any time in history. Because the Djones family have an astonishing secret, which for years they've managed to keep - even from each other. They belong to the HISTORY KEEPERS: a secret society which travels through the centuries to prevent evil enemies from meddling with History itself.

In the quest to find his parents, Jake is whisked from 21st Century London to 19th century France, the headquarters of the mysterious History Keepers, where he discovers the truth about his family's disappearance - and the diabolical Prince Zeldt's plan to destroy the world as we know it . . .

Praise for The History Keepers: The Storm Begins

Harry Potter meets Doctor Who in a blockbusting new time-travel series packed with secret societies, diabolical villains and daring heroes

Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

This is an utterly rambunctious read, full of swashbuckling adventure . . . There's a great deal of humour, too . . . The whole thing has great heart and highspiritedness

The Bookbag

Bags of commercial potential and a great read too

Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

Although time-travel plays a central part in the plot, it is first and foremost a cracking adventure story that is perfect for the 9+ age group. You want your swashes buckled? Then this is the story for you. Prefer the pace of the stories you read to be on the fast side? Then jump on this bob-sleigh of a story and enjoy the ride!

Book Zone 4 Boys

A thoroughly enjoyable action-packed romp through time that will appeal to adventure-lovers

Ruth Coleman, Inis

Dibben makes gleeful use of the timetravel aspect to bring characters from different historical periods into a contemporary setting . . . It's playful, inventive and full of delightfully nerdy jokes and asides. Perfect for fans of Horrible Histories and Percy Jackson

Eimear Ryan, Inis

There are many exciting action sequences, which are almost cinematic in their execution, villains so dastardly they practically perspire evil, and it all adds up to a very enjoyable adventure story

Kieran Mark Crowley, Inis

A wonderfully imaginative adventure thriller giving an excellent introduction to fantasy fiction

Booktrust

Reading it left me breathless, I don’t think I’ve ever read a faster-paced book . . . Fasten your seatbelt because you’re in for one hell of a ride!
