Review
"""Nick of Time" is a blast---the best of Robert Louis Stevenson, Horatio Hornblower, and Harry Potter. The kid in me loved it, and so did the adult."
---James Patterson, "New York Times" bestselling author of the Maximum Ride series
"A brilliant adventure, hidden within a rolling saga, tucked inside an intriguing mystery. That's "Nick of Time," Ted Bell proves that he's the master of swashbuckling for both young and old."
---Steve Berry, author of "The Venetian Betrayal
""Wow! Some books sweep you away. NICK OF TIME amazed me, dazzled me, and swept my imagination off to sea.... I've been craving an adventure story with a good mystery and this arrived in the nick of time to rescue me."
---Diane Chen, School Library Journal.com
""Nick of Time" reminded me of Brian Jacques, one of my favorite authors. Everything clicks together perfectly. . . . I really like the era and technology of WWII, especially the 'secret weapons' . . . the whole pirate thing really appeals to me. . . . The time travel idea is cool, and what's even better is that da Vinci created it!"
---Henry Willshire (13 years old)
Praise for "Nick of Time
""Gr. 6-9- This is an immensely appealing book about 12-year-old Nick McIver, son of a lighthouse owner, who lives on Greybeard Island off the coast of Great Britain in 1939. Opening with a thrilling near-fatal sailboat excursion, the action kicks into high gear when Nick finds a sea chest containing a mysterious glowing globe. Hunted by pirates from the past who seek the globe, a time-travel device, Nick finds himself bouncing back and forth in time fighting exceedingly nasty pirates, Napoleon's naval forces in 1805, and Nazi spies in 1939. Nick is the pluckiest, most likable boy-hero since Robert Lewis Stevenson's David Balfour (Kidnapped ). With great battle scenes; lots of nautical jargon; and themes of courage, integrity, and honor, this book will appeal to restless boys who can never find books written just for them. Three huzzahs and a great big 21-gun salute to Bell for his first novel for kids. Hopefully, it won't be his last." "--School Library Journal, Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK "

"--School Library Journal, Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK ""People who devoured Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series can rejoice this summer at the possibility of sharing the passion for the British Royal Navy with their offspring... There is an undeniable attraction for boys to the figure of the heroic Englishman (though Nick's spunky younger sister will seem to girls the true hero of the novel), and Nick's mantra in times of stress -- "Nelson the strong, Nelson the brave, Nelson, the lord of the sea" -- gets him through the most grueling of moments, when a boy might otherwise give up. The descriptions of the sea battles here are definitely not for the faint of heart." --Sonja Bolle, "LA TIMES"
