A thrilling story by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones--with an introduction by Ursula K. Le Guin.

London, 1939. Vivian Smith thinks she is being evacuated to the countryside, because of the war. But she is being kidnapped - out of her own time. Her kidnappers are Jonathan and Sam, two boys her own age, from a place called Time City, designed especially to oversee history. But now history is going critical, and Jonathan and Sam are convinced that Time City's impending doom can only be averted by a twentieth-century girl named Vivian Smith. Too bad they have the wrong girl. . . .

Review:
"Jones (author of Howl's Moving Castle and Warlock at the Wheel) has written a powerfully moving story about children who are, quite literally, racing through time to save their world."--Publishers Weekly

"Diana Wynne Jones, regarded as one of Britain's premier fantasy writers for young people, has produced another fascinating work of science fiction and adventure, brought to you by cast of truly unique and amusing characters."--Children's Literature

"Absolutely first-rate entertainment."--School Library Journal
From the Back Cover:

Time City: A place that exists outside time and space.

When Vivian is evacuated from London in 1939, she is unexpectedly whisked away there, instead of to the safety of the countryside.

The Time Control works to preserve the correct sequence of historic events, but rogue time-travellers are plotting to take control and are stealing the wards that protect the city. If they succeed, Time City and History as we know it will be destroyed.

Jonathan and Sam are convinced that Vivian can help save their world. But how can she possibly know what to do, when the important event hasn't even happened yet?
