What do a red phone booth, an equally red dragon and gold missing for one hundred years have in common? Everything!
When Harriet Cooper and Will Taylor embark on a school excursion to three gold rush locations, they hurtle through history. A mysterious restored red phone booth appears at each place, ready to play gold rush stories for the cost of an old penny. But the ancient phone booth does much more, and the two friends find themselves back in the gold rush days at each place! When Harriet discovers gold sovereigns and a nugget, will she be allowed to keep them? Or will they have to be returned to the sites where they were discovered?
Be prepared for daring dragon battles, tough teachers and the bothering bully who makes life difficult as Harriet and Will seek justice.
For fans of Dr Who, C.S. Lewis and Roald Dahl.
