Bernard’s Great Aunt gives him a watch that can stop time. You press the button at the top and everything stops – except you. It’s a neat trick if you want to finish your homework in a hurry or skip school and take a stroll into town, but it does more than that. Much, much more!

Andrew Norriss was teaching A level history when a visit to a hypnotherapist resulted in him not only giving up smoking but also becoming a full time writer. He won the Whitbread (now Costa) Children's Book Award with Aquila, which he adapted for television, a series which along with Bernard's Watch, Matt's Million and Woof! is remembered with great affection.

His latest book Jessica's Ghost is published by David Fickling Books and may be his best yet... The American edition will be published by Scholastic/David Fickling with the title 'Friends for Life'.

Andrew believes that there is nothing better than a good story, and most importantly that reading is fun! For info, reviews & teaching resources go to www.andrewnorriss.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliving My Childhood

This is such a fantastic book. I remembered watching the series as a child. I am studying children's books for a writing course and found this one. I managed to read it quite quickly and the magic of the watch left me on the edge of my seat and with tears of sadness and a feeling of such joy. Although i fear If it was my watch I would most likely be a well-rested and well-read Mrs Donaldson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brings back old memories

I did watch some episodes of the TV series, also written by Andrew Norriss, this book was based on in my childhood (shame that has not been released recently). I did not know until recently that there was a book about it. The book is essentially a novelization of the earlier episodes and some later episodes might have been based on the book.

If I have one criticism it is possible proofreading error in Chapter 12 of the Kindle edition. I have never read the print version but I am sure there is no Mrs Beasley or Mr Hewitt and it should have been Mrs Hewitt and Mr Beasley. However this is not bad compared with some other Kindle titles which have worse errors.

As a teacher I am forever foraging for appropriate books for my learners. This is a story with a mix of reality and magic that fascinates my 12 year-olds. I love the way the main character grows through all his adventures.To my great disappointment it is out of print.
