Welcome to Time Travel
Welcome. Your very first journey through time is about to begin.
This is your time travel (TT) handset. Itâs an amazing and essential piece of equipment for all time travelers. In this book, you are going to use its LEAP button, which will catapult you back to specific points in time and places in the world. When you arrive, check the handsetâs screen to find out what year you have landed in.
Time Travel Dos And Donâts
To help you get the most out of your time travels, here are some dos and donâts:
⢠Do take very good care of your TT handset. When not in use, keep it in a secure pocket or, even better, attach it to your belt. If you lose it, there is NO WAY BACK HOME. The handset is state-of-the-art technology, so it is pretty unlikely you will be able to pick up a new one in Ancient Egypt.
⢠Donât worry if you feel a bit strange or dizzy upon landing the first few times. Itâs perfectly normal. Not everyone enjoys the sensation of whizzing through time right away. Like most things, time travel gets easier each time you do it.
⢠Do treat any people you meet on your travels with respect. They may not have computers, or even metal tools, but that doesnât mean theyâre stupidâtheyâre just living in an earlier time than you. Asking them if they like football or hip-hop, or even if you can borrow their cell phone will make you very unpopular, and they will probably think you are totally crazy.
⢠Donât hesitate to hit the large red EJECT button in the center of your handset any time you feel threatened or scared. Donât hang aroundâthe past can be a dangerous place.
Activating the EJECT button will shoot you out of harmâs way, then fast-forward you back home.
Unfortunately, the EJECT button will only send you back to the present day. It wonât get you out of hot water if your parents have just discovered a mess in your bedroom. You will have to deal with that yourself.
⢠Do speak normally. Your handset is equipped with a state-of-the-art program called BlabberSpeak. BlabberSpeak automatically adjusts to the language of the time and place you land in. With BlabberSpeak enabled, you will be able to both understand and speak to the people you meet on your travels as long as you are holding the handset, or it is attached to your belt.
⢠Donât panic. Your clothes will travel through time with you. You wonât find yourself stark naked and chatting to Henry VIII.

Warning
Do not try to change the course of history, no matter how tempting it is. Time travel is not to be used for personal gain, other than for gaining knowledge.
Going back in time to buy a lottery ticket after finding out this weekâs numbers is strictly forbidden. Your TT handset will know about it and take immediate action by transporting you back to Victorian times and setting you to work as a chimney sweep . It will not return you home until it is convinced you have seen the error of your ways.
----
⢠Do breathe freely. The TT handset is equipped with an ImmunoShield. This helps protect you from catching the bugs of the past, and also keeps you from giving modern coughs and colds to people you meet on your travels.
⢠Do consult this book before you go, and keep it with you during your visit. It will provide you with top tips and essential time-tourist information, highlighting must-see sights and things that are in your best interests to avoid.
Now youâre ready to go.
Take a deep breath and press the LEAP button.
Good luck, and enjoy your travels!
