This book is an exciting, fast-paced story starring protagonist Bob and Malcolm, his best friend, who have a band called The Tentacles of Time. They are bent on winning the school talent show to win not only a voucher, but to save the future since Bob, unknown to him, is able to time travel!
Unable to control his time travelling, he disappears in strange places but one day meets his future self, which would be a terrifying prospect! He sees the future being run by the antagonist, turning people into zombies through a selfie camera, a spoof of the 'selfie generation' of today and the idea that everyone is becoming a zombie and a slave to technology. The selfie machine suggests those who take selfies all day, and almost resemble zombies, but the future is shown to have been destroyed by this. An exciting adventure that moves between timeframes, with a young boy at its center, but also suggests what a future may be like. Written with humour and a great use of language, teens and young adults will love this book!
