Synopsis

The world’s clunkiest time machine is back – held together with duct tape, twist ties, and a mountain of pickles – in this laugh-out-loud adventure from best-selling author Dustin Brady, perfect for fans of fast-paced, funny fiction.

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 this treasure holds the key to finding Elsa's grandfather, who disappeared mysteriously over a year ago. The kids reassemble the World's Worst Time Machine and investigate!

Liam and Elsa are not the only time travelers 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.

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: Treasure in the White City will have readers racing to the last page.
