Chaos Clock by Gill Arbuthnott

Set in contemporary Edinburgh, 11-year-old David and Kate become embroiled in a battle between the Lords of Chaos and the Guardians of Time, to control time itself.

'An unusual, enjoyable combination of fantasy thriller and psychological drama with a warmly satisfying ending'
-- Kathryn Ross, The Scotsman (Christmas Picks)

'A dramatic read, well crafted, well sustained and imaginative.'
-- Di Hope, Times Education Supplement Scotland

'A most engaging fantasy novel. What might have been a straightforward tussle is enriched and complicated by the personal circumstances of the children... Dynamic and satisfying.'
-- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald

'This time-slip novel is a great read: convincingly narrated with good characterisation, a plot full of mystery and suspense, and a palpable sense of history.'
-- Booktrusted (www.booktrusted.com)

'A challenging read, with finely-drawn characters... The first of a new series of 'Contemporary Kelpies', this novel is worthy of its famous predecessors.'
-- Elizabeth Finlayson, School Librarian Journal

'I thought this book was well-written ... the story is very well done. I would give it marks for originality.'
-- Stuart, James Gillespie's High School, Teen Titles
