The Strange Box: The children have grown up. They buy an old box but a strange man tries to take it off them. Mr Mortlock, the school caretaker, zaps the strange man and they all run through a doorway that appears on the horizon. Beyond the Door: The children are on the other side of the doorway, in the Time Vault. When Mr Mortlock comes through he transforms into Mortlock, the Time Guardian. He explains their new mission – to fight the Virans, whose aim is to destroy history as we know it. The Jewel in the Hub: Wilf goes back to Renaissance Italy and meets the young Leonardo Da Vinci. The boys discover the Hub (a part of the TimeWeb), but so do the Virans! The Matrix Mission: Neena goes back to medieval Germany and meets the young Johann Gutenberg. They have to find and retrieve the Matrix (the keyboard element of the TimeWeb). The Power of the Cell: Nadim, Kipper and Wilma go back in time to find the Cell (the ‘battery’ of the TimeWeb machine). They meet the young Michael Faraday and a new character, Tyler. The TimeWeb: The children and Mortlock put all the pieces of the TimeWeb together, but it doesn’t work! They need the magic key.

The best thing is when the tiny specks of the bright light began to flow

I recommend this book because it encourages us not to complain about the world as it is today. It's also enjoyable because it captures the spirit of a boy living in the 1800s.

I read this to myself and to my mum, I’m enjoying the series

It is a good book because it was about all the previous adventures when they were young.
However, the content are too long.
I will still recommend it to someone else.

I'm not sure if Mortlock is a Viran or not, because most Virans do look like people.
I liked it because it was exciting. My favourite character is probably Floppy the dog.

I’d recommend it to people who like history and adventure. I want to read the whole series

I would have liked more Biff and Chip in the book but this book was quite fun to read. My favourite character was Nadim because he kept on gulping.

it was a short exciting story in a series of 18 books. it is about the time runners who get introduced to the time web and virans.

Found this a bit difficult to read as I struggle with lots of words on a page

19 Aug 2021

This book was ok. I felt more like a book to set up a story for a future adventure. My favorite character was Floppy the dog. I liked that everything was made of leather. i would only recommend this book if you are reading this series in order.

Fiction - it was really interesting and discovered more about Mortlock being a time guardian
