The TV Time Travellers

Summary

Zac and Izzy win a place on a new reality TV show, but they have no idea where they're going or what to expect . . .
They must live as if it's 1939, the start of World War Two. One by one they will be voted out by the viewing public. It's a hard life and, since each contestant is desperate to be the final winner, there are problems. When the live final arrives, the contestants and the audience will all be stunned by what occurs . . .

Reviews

  • The emotional landscape is immediately familiar, the subject is popular and contemporary, and the writing is energetic, vivid and accessible
