Will Jett make it to 1985 to race his Grandad? And if he does, will he make it home?
Jett is 7 years old and he lives in 2017, but he wants to race Go-Karts with his grandad in 1985. After spending time with his friends the 'scientists and artists', including Nikola Tesla and the star-system Cassiopeia, Jett has built a time machine but he doesn't know how to control it. Will he get to 1985? And if he does, will he get home?
In When Jett Built A Time Machine, Jett visits 1964, 1985 and 540 BCE with his Aunt. They discuss contemporary scientific theories on the way in this original, challenging and surreal science-fiction children's adventure about time travel. This short, fast-paced book is full of adventure and whimsy, the greatest minds of all time from the worlds of science and art, and profound scientific ideas to delight smart kids.
