The Leopard in the Golden Cage by Julia Edwards

The Leopard in the Golden Cage by Julia Edwards

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to travel back in time?

Joe Hopkins isn't expecting to go anywhere. It's the first day of the summer holidays and he's fed up. His dad has moved out, and he doesn't know what he's going to do with himself for the next six weeks.

But while visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace, he slips through time by mistake and finds himself in a world where nothing is quite as he expects. He meets Lucy, the duaghter of the most important man in Britannia, who soon becomes his friend and protector. But as he quickly discovers, there is someone else who wants to get rid of him at any cost.

Can Joe survive in Lucy's world for long enough to outwit his enemy and save his new friend from a terrible fate?

The Leopard in the Golden Cage is the first book in The Scar Gatherer Series, seven adventures for 8 to 12 year olds which will bring Joe face to face with Vikings, smugglers, and the bombers of the Second World War Blitz.

Edwards, Julia: - Julia Edwards was born in 1977. She lives in Salisbury, UK, with her husband, three children and several deer that keep getting into her garden and eating her flowers. Julia Edwards is the author of The Scar Gatherer series, a sequence of seven time-travel adventures for 8 to 12 year olds. In the seventh and final book, The Ring from the Ruins, the hero, Joe, faces the might of the German Luftwaffe. The other six books in the series are: The Leopard in the Golden Cage, set in Roman Britain; Saving the Unicorn's Horn, set in the Viking Age; The Falconer's Quarry, set in Tudor England; The Demon in the Embers, set during the Great Fire of London; Slaves for the Isabella, set at the height of the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and The Shimmer on the Glass, set in Victorian Cornwall. When she's not chasing round after children or trying to shoo the deer away, Julia is wondering what to write next, now that The Scar Gatherer series is finished.
