My son and I had read the Trapped in a Video Game Books a few year back. We were both pretty excited about this new series when we found out about it. We had plans to read it together, but after reading the description I just couldn’t wait for my son to finish his current read. I jumped in and read the book over 2 days during my lunch at work. I could hardly put this book down. And look forward to rereading it with my son in a few weeks.
This story is another solid 5/5 stars. The description of this volume is:
“Liam Chapman cannot believe his good fortune. He just bought a real, working time machine at a garage sale for $3. Sure, it’s labeled “World’s Worst Time Machine,” but how bad could it be?
The time machine, as it turns out, is so much worse than Liam could have imagined. First, it summons Thomas Edison, but not that Thomas Edison. This Thomas Edison is a 10-year-old aspiring gangster from 1933 who demands to be called “Tommy Twinkles” and is also very interested in robbing a bank of the future. Liam could use some help from his parents here, but unfortunately, the time machine has kidnapped them both.
To set things right, Liam and his friend Elsa must embark on an adventure full of sci-fi gadgets, real-life gangsters, and a whole lot of Cheetos.
Bestselling author Dustin Brady has made a career out of crafting fast-paced, hilarious, and wholesome adventures that parents can feel good about sharing with even the most reluctant readers. Short chapters provide a sense of accomplishment for struggling readers, while the propulsive action keeps them invested to the final page. This new series adds real-life history to the formula, making it a fun, fresh way to teach history.”

This is an excellent story. It is a real page turner. I could hardly put it down. It was a fun read from beginning to end, and the After-credits Scene sets up the next volume, or at least we can hope. The characters are masterfully written. The pace is breakneck. And the story just so much fun. This is definitely a volume reluctant readers will be attracted to. They will love reading it and, in the process, learn a bit of history at the same time. And I need to encourage you stick around for the extra credits scene like it was a marvel movie in theatres.
Another awesome read from the pen of Dustin Brady. A great book for home or school library. A story guaranteed to entertain and in this case teach a little at the same time.
