This enchanting tale promises to whisk young readers away on a journey through the annals of history, filled with laughter, adventure, and a touch of magic. To begin, meet Saga Sycamore, the wise and kind tree who knows everything about history and can travel through time. Saga is not just any tree; he’s a storyteller extraordinaire, weaving tales as intricate as a spider’s web. “History is not just a series of dates and events,” Saga often says, “it’s the story of us all, told through the whispers of the leaves and the rustling of the wind.” Joining Saga are his ancient tree friends, each with their own unique personalities and quirks. There’s EpochElm, the grumpy old tree who has seen the rise and fall of many civilisations. “I’ve seen it all,” he grumbles, “from the pyramids to the moon landing. And let me tell you, nothing surprises me anymore!” Then there’s ChronoBark, the youngest and most adventurous tree, always getting into mischief. “Time travel is a piece of cake,” he boasts, “if you don’t mind a few bumps and bruises along the way!” But the real stars of the show are the exceptional children who join the trees on their time-travelling escapades. Together, they visit the dinosaurs, sail with pirates, and even have tea with emperors. “Learning history has never been this much fun!” exclaims one of the children. “It’s like living in a storybook!” HISTORY TREE and The Wrinkles of Time is not just an adventure; it’s a celebration of curiosity, friendship, and the joy of learning. Ahuruonye’s witty and poetic prose brings history to life, making it accessible and engaging for young readers.
