Books with title At the Seaside

Winnie decides she needs a seaside break, so she and Wilbur zoom off to the coast. Winnie makes a beeline for the sea to cool down. Wilbur makes a beeline for anywhere other than the sea - he hates water, and can't bear getting wet. To avoid all the other, numerous, holiday-makers, Winnie puts down her towel, and sets up her beach umbrella, further down than the beach than anyone else - and clearly below the tide line. Of course, the tide gradually starts coming in. When the waves swoosh over Winnie's belongings and carry away her broomstick, she attempts a spell to get it back - but it doesn't really go according to plan and inevitably it's poor Wilbur who gets the worst of things...

Part 3 in the Time Tunnel series. David Johnson is an ordinary ten year old schoolboy who has by pure chance twice stumbled across a time tunnel that takes him back to Roman Londinium. His adventures have led him to become a minor celebrity as well as helping him to do a lot better at school. However, now it is the summer holidays and he is off to North Devon with his mum, his uncle and aunt, and his cousin Sarah. He assumes that time travel is off the menu but circumstances force him and Sarah into yet another challenging trip into the past, that ultimately leads to a happy conclusion for all concerned. But there is still one question. Why would anyone mix chocolate and bubblegum flavour in an ice-cream?
