World's Worst Time Machine
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?
With over two million books sold, Dustin Brady has cracked the code for keeping kids reading. Short chapters, zany twists, and unforgettable characters hook even the most reluctant readers, while the blend of real history and hilarious storytelling makes this series both fun and fresh. Ideal for fans of time-travel adventures, wacky humor, and page-turning mysteries, the World’s Worst Time Machine series will have readers racing to the last page.

About the Author
Dustin Brady writes books for kids who think they hate reading. 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. Dustin loves Tetris, pinball, trick shot videos, and many other silly pastimes that he calls “book research” even though they very much don’t seem like book research. 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.
Dave Bardin is a freelance illustrator and animator residing in Southern California. When Dave drew his very first comic book at the age of nine, he knew he had found what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. As a freelance artist for the last nine years, Dave has had the opportunity to work on a variety of creative projects with some of the biggest names in media. These projects include comic books, video games, board games, animation, commercials, music videos, and television. When Dave isn’t at the drawing board, he can be found riding his bike down by the beach, going on random driving adventures with his very cool wife, and spending time with his friends and family.
