The Time Police do not have problems. They have challenges.

Idiots who want to change history have always proved ''challenging''. But now temporal tourism is on the rise - highly illegal but highly lucrative. If you''re prepared to take the risk.

To face down this threat the Time Police will despatch their toughest undercover agents. Which is fine until the unthinkable happens. Replacements are needed fast and who better than three young officers who don''t even look the part?

Step forward Jane, Luke and Matthew. They may be about to graduate, but there''s still plenty of time for everything to go wrong. Throw in the Versailles time slip, a covert jump to Ancient Egypt and a race against Time itself and you''ve got yourself an assignment worthy of Team Weird.

Readers can''t get enough of TEAM WEIRD:

''This got five stars only because I couldn''t give it six!''

''I don''t think I''ve ever laughed out loud so much reading a book''

''I never thought I would love another series as much as St Mary''s but the adventures of Luke, Jane and Matthew just keep getting better and better''

''I''m breathless with excitement and anticipation as I turn every page''

''As ever, Jodi has us alternately chortling, anxiously worrying about the characters'' fates and dreading getting to the end of the book
