ABOUT THIS BOOK

On the planet Nopter, somewhere deep in the cosmos, young Tik-Tik has a
BIG problem.
Tik-Tik, a boy from Nopter, wants to grow faster than—or at least as fast
as—his furry enemy, Dum-Dum the cat. So Tik-Tik sets off with his Grandpa
Kip-Kip, a cosmic traveller, on an adventure to find a solution to his problem.
They land up on a growing planet called Earth, where Tik-Tik tries to find a
way to speed up time. But will his experiments succeed? And will he ever be
able to outwit the villain Dum-Dum and her accomplices: the bottom-heavy
penguins?
Michelle Farooqi’s charming illustrations bring to life this hilarious adventure
packed with animals, insects, birds, aliens, inventions and discoveries. Tik-
Tik, the Master of Time will have you laughing all the way to the heartwarming
end.
