Books by Josh Lacey
I am the author of about 40 books for children, including The Pet Potato (picture book), the Dragonsitter series, A Dog Called Grk, and The Island of Thieves. My new series, the Time Travel Twins, is perfectly suited to Key Stage 2 children who are studying history; the books are exciting adventure stories full of historical information, and are about the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons, the Romans, and the Stone Age.

Time Travel Twins: The Viking Attack
Twins, Scarlett and Thomas, are studying the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons at school and they have a homework project to do. When Thomas is struggling for inspiration, Grandad comes to the rescue with his time machine. Thomas is catapulted onto a Viking long ship and it’s not long before he’s being told oral tales, fitted out with armour and weapons and is getting ready to attack a Saxon village.
But uh oh, his sister Scarlett has landed in a Saxon village, in a pile of pig poo to be exact. Things seems to be getting better when she befriends the young Alfred the Great, but watch out, Scarlett, there’s a Viking ship on its way.
