    About this ebook

    'Exciting, imaginative, charming and very, very funny'
    - Judith Rossell, award-winning author of Withering-by-Sea on Olive of Groves

    Olive is gobsmacked. Basil Heffenhuffenheimer has just hiked out of the Black Forest in 1857 and into Mrs Groves' Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers. When he offers to take Olive into the past, she cannot resist a time-travelling adventure. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

    Plenty, dear reader. Plenty!

    Multi-award-winning author Katrina Nannestad charms with a series that will keep you giggling, gasping and sighing with delight.
