I just read the Young Adult book "Nick of Time" by Ted Bell. I enjoyed it very much and would rate it a 4. The setting is on the coast of England in 1939, the eve of World War II. Nick McIver, a 12 year old boy, and his younger sister Kate help their father who is looking for German U-boat wolf packs that are circling the Channel Islands. The information they provide to Winston Churchill is vital as he tries to warn England of the imminent Nazi invasion. One day Nick discovers an old sea chest, left for him by his ancestor, Captain Nick McIver, asking for help. The chest contains a time machine which Nick uses to return to the year 1805 to help his ancestor and the Admiral Lord Nelson's entire fleet. The Royal Navy is being threatened by the French and the evil pirate Billy Blood. Meanwhile, Nick's sister Kate with the help of two of England's most brilliant detectives, Lord Hawke and Commander Hobbes, tries to stop invading Nazis. An adventure for all ages.
