Mark Golding's "Out Of Time" is an engaging work of fiction tailored for a young audience, delving into a myriad of captivating themes that contribute to the enrichment of children's knowledge. The narrative commences with the experiences of twelve-year-old Joe Jackson, a resident of the quaint town of Highcross, who stumbles upon a site housing an unexploded World War II bomb. Little does Joe know that this discovery will propel him into a series of tumultuous events, triggered by his encounter with Maxelon, an extraterrestrial being from the distant planet Proxima Centauri b.

Together, Joe and Max embark on a journey to safeguard Earth from the ambitions of Wolfian Dardan, who harbors a desire to rule the planet. The book weaves a tale of time travel, exploration of historical sites, and the handling of mystical machines, providing an exciting backdrop for the unfolding narrative. The inclusion of the Robinsons and Mo serves to deepen the intrigue, injecting additional layers of complexity into the storyline. Throughout the narrative, core values such as friendship and courage are interwoven, making the book relevant and impactful for readers of all ages.

Golding's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the well-defined and unique characters populating the story. Each character is intricately developed, contributing to the overall depth of the narrative. The plot is rife with twists and turns, maintaining a seamless pace that keeps readers engrossed. The inclusion of illustrations is a notable highlight, captivating the imaginations of young readers.

Notably, the book has been impeccably edited, leaving no room for errors and ensuring a smooth reading experience. In my assessment, "Out Of Time" deserves a stellar 5 out of 5 stars for its enthralling themes, the incorporation of scientific and historical elements, and the absence of any discernible shortcomings. This book stands out as an exceptional read for both children and adults alike, showcasing Golding's prowess in crafting a compelling and universally appealing narrative.
