A prehistoric detour in the Australian bush

Four teenagers lose their way in the bush and find themselves in ancient Gondwana, where dinosaurs, natural forces and tensions among the group complicate their attempt to reach a time portal home. The opening novel in the Wollemi Series combines a time-travel premise with Australian prehistory and palaeontology, drawing on real science and events as described by the publisher. Its central predicament links survival in an unfamiliar landscape with the challenge of working together when the route back depends on reaching a specific destination.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in time-travel adventure
  • Readers curious about dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures and Australian palaeontology
  • Those who enjoy stories featuring a group facing survival challenges and interpersonal conflict

Book overview

'Compelling! A pacy action-adventure story that has Australian dinosaurs and Australian palaeontology at its heart.' Dr. Scott Hocknull, palaeontologist.

 

'Crossroads of Time is a gripping, modern YA escapade that entices the reader to prehistoric times, relighting our curiosity about the age of dinosaurs, and the most fundamental what if?' Eugen Bacon, Solstice, British Fantasy, Locus and Ignyte Award winner, and a finalist in the Phillip K. Dick Awards and Victorian Premier's Literary Award (for her novel Serengotti).

 

Running for their lives. Running out of chances. Time travel is impossible - until it's not. A secret canyon. An ancient world. But can they make it out alive? Hunted at every turn, if only they hadn't strayed from the track. If only they hadn't split up. Lost in the bush and lost in time, only one thing is certain - they should never have come here. Crossroads of Time is Book 1 of the Wollemi Series. It is perfect for readers who love:

 

  • Tense, taut action-adventure novels
  • Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures
  • Stories inspired by real science and real events
  • Flawed characters

 

Inspired by real science and set in ancient Gondwana, four teenagers, lost in the bush, battle dinosaurs, the forces of nature and one another, in a desperate attempt to reach the time portal that can take them home.
