Curiosity Chronicles : Time Machine Trouble

Battle the bad guys and save the world in this interactive science adventure for kids!

When you and your friends discover that the mysterious Novax corporation plans to use their new time machine to steal scientific discoveries of the past and use them for evil, you decide to race into the past to stop them. If you pick the right paths, you'll protect the future of science. But if you don't...there's no telling what could happen!

In this exciting and interactive adventure, readers will determine how their story unfolds, testing hypotheses by choosing the actions they will take. Proving their science knowledge will move them forward, while wrong choices will lead them to dead ends where they learn about more about each scientific concept before turning back to test a new hypothesis. In this engaging and interactive format, readers will learn the theory and even practice the applications of concepts like density, relative motion, acceleration, optics, kinetic and potential energy, and more.

Allison grew up in Connecticut where she spent hours getting lost in the words and pictures of her library books. She wore her pencils down and left no scrap of paper un-scribbled as she copied the illustrations from those books, trying to capture some of their magic.

Her love of storytelling led her to earn a BFA in Cartooning from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. After graduating Allison rekindled her love for children’s books and enjoys being able to open up the world and empower young readers to grow through stories.

Allison currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia while her boyfriend, Mike, pursues a Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics. They have two cats, Olive and Amelia, who like to spend their days napping and eating and couldn’t care less about books or math.
