Review

In the beginning of Tomorrow’s guardian we are introduced to the protagonist Tom who seems normal but then unwittingly travels through time at random points in his life. Fans of Doctor Who and other Sci-fans will enjoy it as well as fans of YA.

What I enjoyed about Tomorrow’s guardian was that Tom went back to all kinds of ages and places that most books don’t, Like the Zulus and the great fire of London. It’s nice to explore the history in our own world and not travel to other worlds. And Richard Denning’s prose really eases the story forward.

The cast of characters very different from usual books, as there’s quite an age gap between them… literally, which is a good thing because its not like most books you’ve read.   

I recommend this book to people who are looking for an action packed historical thrill ride. The book appeals to anyone, It’s more for younger YA like Tweens and even younger than that, but I can see people of all ages enjoying it. 
Thanks to Richard Denning for sending me the book  = )
