'Thrilling time-travel adventure' - The Guardian

'Readers are going to fall in love with this brilliant series' - A. F. Steadman, bestselling author of Skandar

Swashbuckling action adventure meets time travel in the fourth title in this epic series by bestselling award-winner M. G. Leonard. Perfect for 8- to 12-year-old fans of Adventures on Trains. Illustrated throughout in black and white by Manuel Sumberac.

Sim, Jeopardy, and Nelson are supposed to be in Tudor London. Thanks to Uncle Emmett, however, they're in the right time, but the wrong place: aboard the ship of infamous privateer and explorer Sir Francis Drake, setting sail to raid Cádiz. Trapped, Sim and his friends must navigate explosive sea battles and a mysterious masked mercenary before they can attempt to return to London and their mission to save Sim's father.

The Attack of the Sea Dogs can be read as a stand-alone novel, or enjoyed as part of the thrilling Time Keys series written by M. G. Leonard. Follow Sim, Jeopardy and Nelson's adventures in Ancient Egypt, Hunt for the Golden Scarab, Viking Norway in The Legend of Viking Thunder and Ancient Rome in The Impossible Gladiator. All titles support the key stage 2 curriculum.
