The shape of this universe.
Lily Tripp is Amelia Tait's funny, diary-style time-slip series for readers of ten and up, opening with Diary of an Accidental Time Traveller. Every New Year's Day since she was eight, almost-thirteen Lily wakes up in a different century - Victorian, Roman, the roaring 1920s, Jacobean 1621 - always dragging the same family, best friend and secret crush along, and always the only one who knows what is going on. The result reads like Lottie Brooks meets Back to the Future: brilliantly observed contemporary friendship and family worries and a quiet crush, wrapped around a fresh historical setting on every jump. Warm, laugh-out-loud and full of heart.
A funny diary-style time-slip series where an almost-thirteen-year-old lands in a new century every New Year's Day, dragging her family and secret crush through history.
