Description
The $3 time machine strikes again in this second installment in the illustrated novel series perfect for fans who love funny, unexpected adventures and wacky plot twists from best-selling author Dustin Brady.
Legend says that an eccentric millionaire hid a treasure somewhere inside the legendary "White City" at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Elsa and Liam have reason to believe that treasure holds the key to finding Elsa's grandfather who disappeared mysteriously over a year ago. The kids decide to break out the duct tape and twist ties to reassemble the World's Worst Time Machine. They're on the hunt!
Liam and Elsa are not the only time travellers after the treasure. Not even close. If they're going to survive long enough to untangle the secrets of the White City, they'll need to upgrade their technology, make a few new friends, and rely on each other like never before. Oh, also, they're going to need a LOT of pickles.

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.
