invisable by robert swindells

it was quite of an exciting book.it was about twins carrie and conrad and their friends peter and charlotte when a new girl at their school shows them how to turn invisable.they sneak around and listen into everyones conversations and much more things.
i think people age 10 to 15 would like this book.i think it would be great to go invisible.
i really enjoyed this book because it was exciting and cool.

Timesnatch Robert Swindells

Timesnatch is about a physician called Harper Rye. She creates an invvention that takes things from the past and brings them to the present. She only wants to take extinct animals from the past, but some people want it to be used for other things. The M.o.D, Ministry of Defence wants to use it as a weapon, Nazi finatics want to bring back Hitler, the Vulcan Pan fan club wants to bring Vulcan Pan back to life, an old man wants to bring his wife back and some people called the friends of the Tyrannasauris Rex want to build a theme park with real dinasaurs in it. In the end, the Hitler finatics brak into the house to force Harper Rye to use her invention and she has to send it and all the documents and blueprints back a couple of thousand years into an active volcanoe wich coincidently erupts round about that time.
