Time Twister Journal #3 of a Cardboard Genius

Journal #3 of a Cardboard Genius

By Asch, Frank

Publishers Summary:
Journal number 3 of the Cardboard Genius finds Alex Archer's powers of invention tested once again. His intergalactic spaceship, Star Jumper, is ready for deep space travel, but his co-pilot Zoe Breen finds a glitch: when Star Jumper returns from her voyage, more than fifty years will have passed on earth! It's time for Alex to invent a time machine — a chrono-dymaxi-spacetime-multiphaser, to be precise (better known as the Time Twister). Its first live subject will be Alex's little brother, Jonathan! The imp's been cooperative since Alex promised he could come on the voyage — a promise Alex has every intention of breaking. Time travel proves to be full of serious mishaps — one of which threatens the very existence of the universe! And little Jonathan proves that he's learned a thing or two from his older brother and invents a time-bending device of his own. But once time is twisted, will the Cardboard Genius be able to twist it back?
