Overview

In this fourth book, Olivia and her friends Grace, Will and Jack are in Year 6 at Coolongawong Public School in outback New South Wales and continue to enjoy the wonders of time travel in their magic classroom. They have already spent a year with their awesome teacher, Mr Mac. Early on they discovered that they could have magical adventures back in time by tripping on a creaky floorboard and saying the magic words, discovering history as it was being made in exciting, and sometimes dangerous, adventures. They visit many new places together, including Tutankhamen' tomb and Cleopatra in Ancient Egypt, an underground city in Turkey, Louisbourg and Paris during the storming of the Bastille. They find themselves performing in Barnum and Bailey's circus and discover what school was like back in the nineteenth century. They travel to Japan, Africa, Panama and many other places as they witness history in the making. They are present in Darwin during Cyclone Tracy and meet Harry Houdini, Mozart, Boudicca and Breaker Morant. Matt, Nicky, Ben and Kris also return for an adventure back to New York during the terrorist attack on the twin towers.

Author Information

Dell Brand grew up in Sydney, attending North Sydney Girls High School and Sydney University. She taught in state high schools during her working life, teaching Physical and Health Education. She was recognised with the Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Outstanding Achievement in Education Award from the Australian College of Education. She has always had a keen interest in children with learning difficulties and challenging behaviours and worked for a number of years with a wilderness-enhanced program aimed at turning around young people's lives. This formed the basis of her PhD. In more recent years she developed a particular interest in family history and history in general. Dell was also a part-time journalist and was published by a number of editors both in Australia and abroad. She contributed regularly to four Australian magazines and frequently to newspapers where she used her own travel experiences to write first-hand of places she had seen and people she had met. Some of these places also found their way into this book. Dell loves the outdoors, especially the wilderness. In her younger years she was a keen swimmer and an A grade squash player. She now enjoys all outdoor pursuits and tries to play golf regularly. She is married with two grown-up children and five funtastic grandchildren. She lives on the south coast of New South Wales.
