Stu Rowson wrote and published the first of a 3 series adventure, featuring Izzy….
A super smart but lonely girl, Izzy doesn’t know where she fits into life. She avoids the popular kids at school that she calls the Phoneys, and has such a terrible temper, she’s given it a name: the fuzziness. With a furious temper, mysterious visions of the future and a missing dad, it’s no fun being Izzy Latimer.She’s too scared to make friends and doesn’t want to stand out, yet she knows she’s special.
On her 13th birthday, she’s gifted a mysterious pocket watch – a Tumble Thunder – and her life is changed forever.
Can she complete the Tumble Thunder, find her dad and escape the clutches of the murderous Time Shadow in order to realise her true destiny?
