NeerajNeeraj: Enjoying reading it and I would say all the books from this writer are recommended to 13+ as their some words which are not suitable for a child to go through.
Otherwise it was super awesome and I liked it a lot .
The best one that I think till now is the *The Thousand Year old boy* which super interesting .This can be recommended for 10+ as a gift.✨
I have read almost all the the novel from this writer and in hope of completing till end of June 2023.

funkydoory: In 2016, Ross Welford wrote “ Time Travelling with a Hamster “ a children's science-fiction and fantasy book. It was his first book and one of his most famous. It is about a twelve year old boy named Albert Einstein Hawking Chaudhery; Al for short. Al lives with his stepdad Steve, his hamster Alan Shearer, his Mum and his step sister Carly in Northumberland, England. In this book Al travels back to 1984 to try and stop his dad's “accidental death. “ This book is filled with nail-biting action, cliffhangers and adventures full of adrenaline.
Al’s character is very headstrong and brave because he likes to try new things. I know this because in the book he gets coordinates to a time machine and he is non-hesitant to try and travel back in time. As the story went on more characters made an introduction. We learnt more and more about them throughout the book. My favourite character is Al’s grandpa, Byron. I like him because he learnt to control his temper so he never gets angry. He also dresses in saffron robes to make himself stand out. I dislike Carly because she made a mean impression of grandpa Byron behind his back even though Al liked his smell. This makes the...

Wende Moore: My eleven year old is a voracious reader and absolutely loved this story of would-be heroic hamster trying to save the day. Clean and fun and even a plot twist we didn't see coming. Well done!

booksy: I'm 43 and really enjoyed this book - so I would imagine it'd go down even better with the target age group. It's a perfect introduction to the concept of time travel for kids (plus, Ross Welford also throws in some great memory-recall tips, that I'm sure a lot of children will want to explore further).
This is a very easy read with a hugely likable narrator (young Albert who, at 12, receives a letter from his dad (who died when Albert was 8) telling him there's a way for Albert to travel back in time and prevent his death). So, armed with a very thrown-together time machine and his hamster, Alan Shearer, Albert sets off to put right the past - but it doesn't all go according to plan.
This was great fun to read - and, at points, Welford's easy prose and spot-on tone of voice put me in mind of Patrick Ness. I can see great things ahead for this writer, and I'll definitely be reading his next novel when it comes out. I'm also a big fan of books that make children think - and this one certainly will. It touches on a lot of life's big mysteries - but also those things that are important closer to home (such as family values, loyalty, love, friendship and...
