Description from book:
Vivian has been kidnapped!  She's sure that Jonathan and Sam have whisked her away to a city of the future.  But Time City exists outside time and space - though its inhabitants, as Vivian discovers, couldn't be more human.

Trying to get back home, Vivian becomes entangled in the plight of the crumbling Time City.  A desperate hunt begins through time to find its builder, the legendary Faber John, and his four precious caskets.  But someone else is determined to find him first - someone who is spreading chaos throughout history in an attempt to destroy the city.  Is it the dreaded Time Lady?  Or an unknown adversary?

Description from book:

A fearful, dark power has turned her worst nightmare into reality.  She has become a ghost - alone in a world she once knew, among people who were once her family.  She is one of them - but which one? 

She only knows that something terrible is about to happen.  That one of her sisters will die - unless she can use the future to remake the past.  Unless she can defeat Monigan's evil power for ever...

Description from book:
OWN BACK LIMITED - it seemed like a marvellous scheme!  Frank and Jess had set up the business because they needed money - their pocket-money had been stopped just when Frank owed Buster Knell ten pence.  Their father had put a quick stop to ERRANDS RUN, so why not try something that was bad instead?  Something like arranging for Buster Knell to fall down a man-hole and charging five pence... dreadful things that other people didn't dare to do?  So they pinned up the notice on the potting-shed - REVENGE ARRANGED, PRICE ACCORDING TO TASK, ALL DIFFICULT TASKS UNDERTAKEN, TREASURE HUNTED, ETC.

The first customer to take the idea seriously was Buster Knell himself.  He said he'd let Frank off the 10p if Frank would help him get his revenge on Vernon Wilkins, who'd knocked his tooth out - what Buster wanted was one of Wilkins' teeth in return.  That was a bit of a problem, but luckily Vernon's small brother was just loosing a tooth...

Then the two strange girls from the cheese-coloured house by the allotment wanted to get their own back on Biddy Iremonger, who was rumoured to be a witch, and who, they said, had put a spell on them.  Quickly, news of the business spread and more children became entangled in the web of plots and mystery, while Biddy Iremonger also felt she had a right to revenge herself - and perhaps she really was a witch?
