This third book in Patience Agbabi’s The Leap Cycle trilogy is an action-packed, inspirational joy. Whirling with invention and the indomitable spirit and quick-witted thinking of its 14-year-old autistic protagonist, it sees Elle and her fellow extraordinary Leaplings — children born on the 29th of February with a rare gift of being able to leap through time — flip back to 1880 via a ghost train and encounter none other than The Grandfather, a notorious criminal leader.

With his “deathly white skin and “slate-grey eyes”, The Grandfather is a fearsome sight, and he has a proposition for Elle and co. He needs them to work for him to prevent Leaplings being exposed and, ultimately, to protect themselves from coming to harm. Big-time. The Grandfather knows they’re the only ones who can solve this problem, “Because…you think different. You see details others don’t. You work stuff out”.

Alongside the sense of peril and time running out, Elle is faced with tremendous personal challenges, which makes her story all the more edge-of-your seat engaging. And all this is interwoven with mystery, problem-solving and a palpable sense of friendship. The stage is set for a thrilling finale…
