Home in Time by Vicki Arnott

What’s beneath the pyramid hill?

No one suspects that the odd pyramid-shaped hill on the Percival’s farm hides an ancient secret. But when storm floods expose a crack leading inside the hill, Klaryn and her best friend Tawhiri discover futuristic technology and a stranger claiming to be a visitor from another world. His transport machine is broken and his companions are missing. He says he just wants to go home, but is it the truth?

Klaryn’s body starts manifesting frightening changes, and people she’s known for years are acting strangely. Investigators from the city are snooping, a massive dog lurks in the native bush, and a creepy old woman warns of danger.

The truth Klaryn uncovers shatters everything she’s ever known about her family and her reality. She has an impossibly difficult decision to make—but with every path in front of her loaded with peril, can she find the way home in time?
