1956 Freddy and Polly are used to helping their father with his experiments. So they don't mind being put into cryonic suspension - having their hearts frozen until their father wakes them up again. They know it will only be for an hour or two, so there's nothing to worry about . . . Present Day Ben and Rachel have resigned themselves to a long, boring summer. Then they find a hidden underground vault in the garden containing two frozen figures, a boy and a girl. And when Rachel accidentally presses a button, something unbelievable happens . . . Can Polly and Freddy adapt to the twenty-first century? Will their bodies survive having been in suspension for so long? And most important of all, what happened to their father - and why did he leave them frozen in time?

Heart-stopping adventure. Literally!

About the Author
Ali Sparkes grew up in Southampton and despite some exciting months in London and even more exciting months in Lowestoft (where she really experienced life on the edge), still lives in Southampton today, with her husband and two sons. She has worked as a singer, journalist, broadcaster, magazine editor and the spangle-clad assistant to a juggling unicyclist (frighteningly, there is photographic proof). Ali currently has twenty-two children's fiction titles published by Oxford University Press including her 'Shapeshifter' series, her standalone novels Dark Summer and Wishful Thinking, and her heart-stopping new adventure series about a group of teenagers with special powers, 'Unleashed'.

Reviews
A must-read . . . I know now that they mean by a plot that is toe-curlingly good. * John Lloyd, BookBag *
The best way to explain this book really, would be to say just "wow", because it was that good. I would definitely give it five out of five * By kids for kids review, The Guardian *
