The Tanglewreck series consists of two children’s novels by Jeanette Winterson. Tanglewreck (2006) introduces Silver River, a young girl living in a decaying manor house who gets drawn into an adventure involving time travel and a mysterious clock called the Timekeeper. The Battle of the Sun (2009) is a standalone children’s fantasy set in 17th-century London, where a boy named Jack must confront a sinister alchemist known as the Magus.

Both books show Winterson bringing her literary imagination to younger readers. The stories feature strong young protagonists facing strange and threatening forces, with settings that mix real history with fantastical elements. While the two novels are independent of each other in terms of plot and characters, they share Winterson’s characteristic playfulness with time, place, and storytelling.
