History and fiction meld in a spectacular new series retelling thrilling tales from past eras, all with the benefit of the latest research.

Few plots can rival the real-life dramas played out in the superb Adventures in Time series by the historian Dominic Sandbrook, one of the most exciting new voices in children's non-fiction.

The brio of the accounts sweep children along on the adventure and introduce them to the way in which history shapes our modern world.

A hugely engaging, funny and informative account of being neurodivergent

This book is what I needed as a kid! Empathetic, joyful and beautifully authentic. I loved it!

Funny, poignant and wise, with a rich seam of understanding and empathy . . . one of the best children's non-fiction books I've read in a long time

Insightful, accessible and easy to navigate, this is an essential book for autistic and allistic (non-autistic) readers of all ages

An amazing, life-changing hug of a book I wish I had when I was growing up. It's funny, eye-opening and supremely reassuring and an important, myth-busting look into autism and how that experience can vary so much. For anyone and EVERYONE who has ever felt different. Time to reclaim it and celebrate it

This book is a great explainer, full of empathy for different situations, which explodes many misconceptions about autistic people along the way! I wish I had had this available many years ago when teaching an autistic child on a one-to-one basis

What a difference Abigail Balfe's new book is going to make for so many people! A Different Sort of Normal is a wonderful blend of humour, information & reassuring comfort

Highly illustrated, beautiful and an essential book for young autistic people
