Vivian is evacuated from London in 1939. She expects to be sent away to the countryside like the other children, but instead she is whisked right outside of time to a place called Time City.

One of the strangest things about Time City is the time ghosts who appear in different places to mark important events of the past and future.

Rogue time travellers are plotting to take control of the city.  If they succeed, time and history as we know it will be destroyed.

Two boys think Vivian is the answer to this problem, because she appears in the city as a time ghost herself. The trouble is, Vivian has no idea what important thing she must do because the ghost marks events which will happen in the future.
