Jonny, along with his Siamese cat, Mister E, discovers a magical icon on his Nexus 7 tablet, an icon that when opened, allows them to time travel into the future. The Atlanta they arrive in is nothing like the one they left. It is a city made of glass because hundreds of years of drought have caused all growing things to die. All oil is gone so there are no plastic products. All mining has been depleted so there is no metal. Only sand is left out of which glass is produced and used for houses, furniture, toys, and flying cars. Mister E, strangely, has been transformed by time travel into a huge cat the size of a lion and can speak. Jonny and Mister E rescue Cindi, a young girl running from her mean stepfather. Adventure after adventure follow as the three of them try to escape mutated outlanders, her angry father, and the hated pet police before making a lifesaving time jump to ....

This compilation of four children's fantasy books (also sold individually) follows Jonny, an eight year old boy of enormous curiosity as he downloads a free App onto his Nexus 7 tablet (Book One). Though mystified by its all-black icon, he clicks on it, and is addressed by name and told to gather up his Siamese cat, Mister E, climb into the animal's huge litter box, and get ready for the ride of his life. At first, Jonny resists then his curiosity makes him follow the mysterious instructions. Moments later, he and his cat, awaken four hundred years in the future where they rescue, Cindi, a young girl who is being sent to jail for owning a pet. After many harrowing adventures, they time travel (Book Two) to a pirate ship in the year 1481 where they are forced to assist on a raid against an unsuspecting town on the Island of Tortuga. Escaping, after a shipwreck and isolation on a deserted island, they time travel to a tiny, water starved planet in the Orion cluster two thousand years in the future (Book Three). This series of four books closes with a time jump back home to Atlanta in 2013 and concluding with another fantastic voyage to the planet Daedeleus in the Andromeda constellation 7000 years into the future and 900 light years from Earth (Book Four). Always confronting beings who are threatened by their unexpected arrival, they explore the universe, helping those in need, aiding the oppressed, and attempting to right the wrongs they encounter. Laced with humor and farsighted imagination, this series of children's fantasy books are well suited for the inquisitive minds of school aged readers.

Jonny, his Siamese cat Mister E, and Cindi, a young girl they rescued four hundred years in the future, escape the glass city of Atlanta using Jonny's Nexus 7 tablet and the magical icon that allows them to travel through time and space. But, their time jump goes wrong and, instead of returning to Jonny's home in Atlanta in 2013, they arrive on a Caribbean pirate ship in 1481. As slaves on the ship, they are forced to help the pirates during sea battles and a disastrous raid on the Island of Tortuga. They escape to a deserted island after a terrible storm and the sinking of the ship. Many adventures follow as they struggle to survive before attempting a time jump back home. Will it work correctly this time?
