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.

Many children will already be hooked on his brainy historical thrillers. The sixth in Dominic Sandbrook's Adventures in Time series introduces us to the scariest raiders of all as we meet Viking gods and giants, axemen and shield maidens.

An emotionally devastating story of courage - and survival

Brilliantly researched and written

An extraordinary affecting tale . . . with many twists

Stolen History is a truly remarkable achievement: an historically accurate, diligently researched and nuanced account of the British Empire that is also gripping for younger readers. I know of no other writer who could have accomplished such a feat.

Sanghera brilliantly demonstrates that history doesn't have to be dumbed down to be made accessible, nor does it need to be sensationalized to seem relevant. Written with integrity and a deep commitment to reveal how the past has shaped our present, the book will make young readers engage with history as more than just entertainment and it will encourage them to ask new questions.
