Average Rating 8/10 (1 Review)

'These are the files of the toughest team ever to tackle time-crime... we are the TIME DETECTIVES!'

In each of these zany, fast-paced adventure stories, a young team of investigators uncover the truth behind a real-life historical mystery.

Pirates have existed from Roman Times through to the present day. The Time Detectives uncover a few surprising truths about what they are really like when they come across some - right in their own high street.

This book is about a team of children called The Time Detectives. They investigate historical events of a more gruesome nature in a very accessible way. In other words history that is fun :)

This story (number 2 in the series) tells the tale of pirates through the ages and compares modern day crime with that of the past.

A really good story with funny moments, like when ram raiders hit the chip shop rather than the one next door.

I've really enjoyed this series and now just need to get a copy of book 4 which is about King Arthur.
