Tom Oakley experiences disturbing episodes of déjà -vu and believes he is going mad.
Then he discovers that he’s a “Walker†– and can transport himself to other times and places.
Tom dreams about other “Walkers†in moments of mortal danger: Edward Dyson killed in a battle in 1879; Mary Brown who perished in the Great Fire of London; and Charlie Hawker, a sailor who drowned on a U-boat in 1943.
Agreeing to travel back in time and rescue them, Tom has three dangerous adventures, before returning to the present day. But Tom’s troubles have only just begun. He finds that he’s drawn the attention of evil individuals who seek to bend history to their will.
Soon, Tom’s family are obliterated and Tom must make a choice between saving them and saving his entire world.

Reviews:
What Robert James says about Tomorrow’s Guardian:
‘Richard Denning, … keeps the action fast and furious for the 400 or so pages of the book. Diving in and out of time, and in and out of the Twisted Reality (the other universe), there’s never a dull moment as the inevitable confrontation with the evil Redfeld, villain of the piece, comes closer and closer.’
‘I recommend it to readers around Tom’s age, many of whom I confidently expect to absolutely love it. ‘

I recieved Tomorrows Guardian on Thursday and my youngest James (10) and I are reading it together. It’s causing bedtime issues in that he wants to read more than time allows.
Great story. Sue Rankin
Flamingnet (US Teen Fiction website)
Teens will love this book because they can relate to Tom who is their age and very believable. Since Tom is from another country, the reader has a chance to travel to another place. With Tom’s time traveling, the reader gets taken to a different time too.
