World's Worst Time Machine: Journey to the Center of Time

by Dustin Brady, Dave Bardin (Illustrator)

Overview

The $3 time machine strikes again in this third and final installment in the series perfect for fans who love funny, unexpected adventures and wacky plot twists from best—selling author Dustin Brady.

Professor Snellenburg is a mysterious man. What’s the real story behind his time machine? What does the villainous Queen want with him? And where is he now?

To find the professor, Elsa and Liam will need to start digging up answers to these long—buried secrets. Their search starts with the Voynich Manuscript—a book from the Middle Ages that puzzles historians and codebreakers to this day. They’ll travel to an alternate dimension, where they’ll meet Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (the geologist, not the wrestler) and discover the shocking origin of time slime. Finally, with the help of the World’s Worst Time Machine, they’ll attempt a journey to the very center of time.

As the kids close in on the answers they’ve been seeking, their world begins turning upside down. Who’s the hero of this story? Who’s the villain? And what happens when you find out that everything you thought you knew was a lie?

His Trapped in a Video Game series has sold over one million copies because—as it turns out—there are a lot of kids who think they hate reading.

He lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife, three kids, and a small dog named Nugget. Dustin honestly can’t believe he gets to do this for a living.
