Timesnatch by Robert Swindells
Once a creature is extinct, it's gone forever, right? Not any more. The physicist mother of Kizzy and Fraser Rye has invented an amazing time machine that can travel back into the past, snatch a plant or animal now extinct, and bring it back into the present. It is a wonderful achievement and an astounding scientific breakthrough. But the machine, Rye's Apparatus, also has horrifying potential. Suddenly Kizzy and Fraser find themselves caught up in a terrifying spiral of events that eventually leads to a monstrous demand from a sinister and violent organization.Robert Swindells was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in 1939 and still resides there. He dropped out of school at the age of 15 and worked in a number of occupations, including primary school teaching, before deciding to pursue writing full-time. His critically praised novels, such as BROTHER IN THE LAND, which is set in the aftermath of a nuclear war, frequently reflect his political emotions. He has won the Red House Children's Book Prize on multiple occasions, and in 1993, for STONE COLD, a young adult novel on homelessness, he received the renowned Carnegie Medal.
