Publisher Description: Having saved the Kingdom of Merriwarts and united his giant friends Queen Gertrude and King Herbert in blissful (if smelly) marriage, 10-year-old genius Newton is in need of a new project. For a boy fascinated by dinosaurs, there's only one thing to do: build a time machine so he can go back and see them But when the test voyage of the time machine--with Herbert and Gertrude on board--ends in a smoky explosion and a missing time machine (not to mention missing giants ), Newton finds himself with new problems to solve. |
