The Time Travellers: Secrets and Spies

A thrilling journey through time, bravery, and untold stories.

When cousins Saif, Aadam and Leyla stumble into a time portal hidden in a historic London building, they’re swept back to 1940s war-torn Britain and into a mission filled with secrets, spies, and real-life courage. Suddenly, history isn’t just something they read about. It’s something they must survive.

As the trio navigates ration books, codebreaking, and air raid sirens, they uncover a powerful truth: young people have always played a role in shaping the world and bravery comes in many forms.

Packed with action and rich historical detail, The Time Travellers: Secrets and Spies is an unforgettable adventure from award-winning author Sufiya Ahmed. It opens the door to the past while inspiring readers to think about justice, friendship and the stories that don’t always make it into textbooks.

At Big Heart Book Club, we love books that blend excitement with empathy and this one does both, brilliantly.
