Lewis & Number One

Challenged by his arch-enemy school swot Jonathon Primm to write the best essay on the opening of the railway, Lewis takes up the gauntlet but quickly meets dead ends. Struggling, his life is turned upside down when visitors from the future arrive and persuade him to go back with them to 1825! But will Lewis be able to get back to the present, write a winning essay and still be home in time for tea? 'Brilliant, funny, entertaining, colourful, imaginative, heart-warming, fascinating. Lewis is the central character and No. 1 the name often given to the world famous steam engine built by George Stephenson. A great vehicle for teaching engineering, politics, economics and human endeavour to young and old alike. The humour, humanity and colour carries us along. 10 out of 10.' -Jay Tee, award-winning film maker. 'I was truly engrossed in this from start to finish. My son loves it too! Recommended for all ages.' Sally '& Peter aged 9) May 2022.
