Michael Saxon: Waterloo

by Kevin Heads

Michael Saxon is a teenager who moves into his Grandfathers house in the country. There he discovers a library full of historical books hidden in the attic; but this is no ordinary library. As he removes a book from the dust covered shelves, he is transported back in time to the Battle of Waterloo. Once there he has to somehow find his way back to his own time. Inexperienced in the art of warfare, he needs the help of others to help him navigate the battlefield, survive and find his way back home. Follow Michael on his journey from the quiet Idyllic Yorkshire countryside to the Chateau d'Hougoumont in Belgium, and immerse yourself in one of the greatest battles of British History. The Battle of Waterloo...A great introduction for young people, into the genre of historical fiction.

Interesting time shift

I loved the vivid language of this book and the way Kevin made it real. Watch out for the twist at the end! Well done, Kevin!

This is a real page-turner. I loved it as much as my son did. A great time slip into the Napoleonic Wars.
