Ühel kiirel hommikul duši all seistes soovib 10-aastane Felix kõigest väest siit lihtsalt minema pääseda. Ja ta pääsebki … kuid üsna ootamatul viisil. Ühtäkki seisab Felix keset välja ja on sattunud lahingu keskpunkti! Inimesed kannavad vanaaegseid riideid, ta ise on ihualasti ja tagatipuks uitavad siin ringi veel lohed! Üheski ajalooõpikus pole sellisest paigast küll juttu olnud! Aga mis veel tähtsam – kuidas ta koju tagasi saab? Poissi ootab ees üllatusterohke seiklus, mille käigus tuleb tal lahendada nii enda kui ka oma uute sõprade mured.
See vahvate illustratsioonidega uus muhe sari sobib lastele alates 7. eluaastast. Loe ka teisi Nat Amoore’i raamatuid: „Koolihoovi miljonäri saladused“, „Heade vempude jõud“ ja „Just nii tuleb rokkida!“.
This is what Felix is thinking as his dad yells for him to get up. His little brother Olly doesn't help, following him around telling him endless terrible jokes out of his favourite new book.
Escaping to the bathroom, Felix hopes the shower will drown out Olly, but instead his ears are filled with a shrieking sound like metal on metal, then he is flashed with a searing bright light!
When he opens his eyes, he is definitely NOT in his bathroom. He's not even in his house. In fact, a hoard of people are running straight at him, armed with pitchforks and other sharp tools. He only just escapes their rampage, while realising he is also buck naked.
Completely flummoxed by this turn of events, Felix figures first things first - find some clothes. Not usually one to steal, he helps himself to a clothesline of old fashioned clothes - only to see someone watching him do it.
This is the least of his worries, as soon he meets a medieval mage, saves a vegetarian dragon all while trying to figure out where he is and how he got there?
Will he ever see his dad and annoying little brother ever again?
The first in this time-travel series, the time-travel portal is unique. I can't say I've ever read a book where having a shower transports you back in time. This brings a whole new dimension of singing or thinking about the day ahead whilst washing, and a warning about wishing in the shower instead.
Large clear fonts, funny illustrations and short chapters makes Shower Land a great series for emerging readers to step up their reading skills.
The intriguing end leads into a possible new adventure for Felix. Who did he catch a glimpse of as he left another time?
