Island of Secrets 1.

The year is 1940 and WWII has been raging for one year, four children move from London with their parents to live in the Buckinghamshire countryside with their Grand Parents not far from Bletchley where their parents work.

Near the house is a lake with an Island and one day when they are playing they land to explore the Island and in doing so they find a cave with four tunnels, going along one of the tunnels they find they are looking into the future of London’s Regent Street.

Ed, the eldest of the children steps through the door and sees a young girl running toward him, he thought this a little weird as nobody else was taking any notice of him, the girl is calling for him to help her but Ed thinks he has been too long in the future and calls to the girl he will return tomorrow, which he does and rescues the girl named Zara who is from the future in the year 2080. She stays with them and becomes part of their family.

Together the five of them manage to find out how the machine work and they set the dates to try and get Zara back to her parents, who told her to hide as they were afraid a war was about to start.

They do manage to get Zara back to the year 2080 but all she finds is destruction and devastation and realises she may never get home again and returns with the four children.

They have a Project from school to write about the Hundred Year War, Agincourt so they travel to see what did happen in 25th of October 1415.
