A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones

A young girl finds herself spirited away to a hidden city beyond time that holds the fate of history in its hands--with an introduction by Ursula K. Le Guin.

"High-spirited time travel fantasy that is sure to delight its readers . . . Absolutely first-rate entertainment."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Diana Wynne Jones turns all she touches to magic, which is a lot better than gold."--Megan Whalen Turner

London, 1939. Vivian Smith thinks she is being evacuated to the countryside because of the war. But she is being kidnapped--out of her own time. Her kidnappers are Jonathan and Sam, two boys her own age, who traveled to London from a place called Time City. Built eons ago on a patch of space outside time, Time City was designed especially to oversee history. But now history is going critical, and Jonathan and Sam are convinced that Time City's impending doom can only be averted by a twentieth-century girl named Vivian Smith. Too bad they have the wrong girl. . .
