About the Author
Who is Panama Oxridge? The literary world is literally buzzing with theories ... but the truth is far stranger than fiction:
Once a well-known and successful author of picture-puzzle books, Panama Oxridge accidentally stumbled across the secret of time travel and, ever since, has been forced to adopt a pseudonym and wear a series of disguises to conceal his or her identity.
For obscure legal reasons, the author’s real name has been hidden somewhere in "JUSTIN THYME" – or rumour has it that the truth can be uncovered by following a trail of clues at justinthyme.info
Some readers claim that Panama Oxridge has even concealed cryptic encoded messages inside the book – but he or she strongly denies having done anything of the kind!
One thing, however, is certain: there is a great deal more to "JUSTIN THYME" than first meets the eye. (Try looking at the front cover upside-down and you’ll see what I mean!)
Book Description
Justin Thyme is a self-made billionaire living in a castle overlooking Loch Ness. The day he turns thirteen, he receives an anonymous gift: a fabulous watch with a puzzling message hidden on it. When he tells his father of his plans to build a time machine, the Laird of Thyme reveals tantalising fragments of past espionage and warns his son of a ruthless enemy keeping him under constant surveillance. At first, Justin fails to take Sir Willoughby seriously, but when a stranger arrives claiming to be his long-lost grandfather, Justin is wary – especially after his beloved Nanny insists the old man is an impostor.
Justin’s TV celebrity mother departs on a Congo expedition with her eccentric film crew and Eliza, a computer-literate gorilla. Whilst returning, Lady Henny is abducted, and clues prove that the kidnapper has inside information; someone in Thyme Castle must be a spy – or possibly Sir Willoughby’s old enemy in disguise. Everyone is under suspicion: Justin’s nervy tutor; their snooping housekeeper; the theatrical gardener; an ex-royal butler; and Mrs Kof, their freakishly strong cook.
Suddenly, the race against time is on. Can Justin convert his vintage motorbike into a time machine, rescue his mum and discover the identity of their resident spy in less than a week ... or will the dreaded Thyme Curse claim another life?
From the Inside Flap
Although set in the present, the book you are holding has not been written ... yet! This enigmatic literary paradox was recently unearthed by a highly respected cryptozoologist exploring subterranean caverns beneath a ruined Scottish castle. The chest he found contained a hand-written manuscript of the entire Tartan of Thyme with a strange explanatory note dated 01/04/26. Nothing else is known about its mysterious author, Panama Oxridge, except that he or she will be born sometime early next year.
