They've been to three worlds in less than a day. Time isn't just running out … it's running wild.
David King is reeling from his travels through history—and from the evil he's found there. The last thing he needs is his great-great-uncle Jesse's hospital-bed instructions: You can't simply do nothing. You must fix things.
David and his brother Xander's search for their abducted mother has repeatedly led them on strange and terrifying journeys as they've stepped through the portals of the creepy old house and into some of history's most turbulent moments—and confronted an unimaginably bleak vision of the future. Now Jesse's words saddle them with an obligation not only to visit the past, but to rewrite it.
Fulfilling their purpose will take everything they have, both mentally and physically. But they have no choice … because everything in the past—and the future—is on the line.

Now, all they want is for things to return to normal (or as normal as they can be), but the government has other ideas. Especially since the two just spilled the secrets behind Australia's cryonics project to the world. On the run, Abdi and Tegan have no idea who they can trust - and, when they uncover startling new details about the program, they realize that thousands of lives may be in their hands.

Whiffy Newton, real first name Alfred, hardly looks like a crack amateur super-sleuth.
His clothes are too short and too tight. He never gets picked first for sports. And he has poor eyesight.
But he's got his two best friends - Doreen and Paz - and together, the three friends form the detective outfit The Agency.
Until now, The Agency has only handled the discreet enquiries of other put upon children at Kentwood High. But The Case of the Dastardly Deeds sees them take on their biggest, their craziest, their most dangerous, case yet.
For readers who love Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid series, the books of Andy Griffiths and funny detective stories in the vein of The Red Hand Gang, The Five Find Outers, The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, Geronimo Stilton and Encyclopedia Brown comes a new, style-challenged hero, Whiffy Newton!
'A very amusing book. Whiffy Newton would give even Mma Ramotswe a run for her money!' - Alexander McCall Smith, bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
