A Holiday Book in Review: Nick of Time

Nick of Time By: Ted Bell
Fiction: YA, sci-fi, adventure 434 pages
Book Count: 72

Pirates, Nazis and of course time travel. This book has all of the action and adventure that a pre-teen to young teen could want in a book. The main story takes place on a small island between England and France owned by England in the days leading up to WWII. But the main character, Nick along with a couple of adult friends (Lord Hawke and Gunner) travel back in time to the days of the Napoleonic wars, pirates and Nick's hero, Lord Nelson to help his ancestor (who has the same name). Meanwhile, his little sister and her nanny (English Commander Hobbes)have to deal with an insane German U-boat captain, the SS, and a top secret new German sub. And also there is the kidnapping of Lord Hawke's children, Nick's dog and Lord Nelson's niece.
