(Age: 6+) Themes: Fantasy; Magic; Time travel; Puzzles. The original
Tashi book series by Anna and Barbara Fienberg has been transformed
into a television series, and this book is a glossy retelling of one
of the episodes involving Jack and his distant cousin Tashi. The

them on another adventure as they travel backward and forward in

puzzles, riddles and activities, so would make a good gift for a
young independent reader (aged 6+) who has also discovered the TV
series.
