One day in June in Cambridge three people just suddenly appear, those in their orbit are affected with giddiness and seemingly disappear for a short time.
And so the Wyatt family arrive, three strange travellers who accidentally get tangled up with the locals and cause a little trouble when their strange behaviour and habits attract the notice of a news reporter.
They are travellers from the future, exploring the past.
But things get messy when one falls in love abs they have a deadline to return to their own time or risk being cut off from their own people and home.
A clever, meandering tale of time travel and a great little sci if read overall.

Entre 3 et 4, un livre sympa mais simplet mais assez charmant.

Time travel and science fiction all in one, oi vey. I clearly did not know what I was getting into when I started, and now that I do I shall not be rereading it to remember the particular things I found boring. I just remember feeling like I was muddling my way through and barely tracking what happened, plot-wise.

My second favorite book by Townsend. I own a copy of this one. Good children's science fiction.

I bought this thinking it was "The Creatures" by the same author. Unfortunately it wasn't, and I just couldn't get into this one so I didn't finish it.
