back in time, Joey Stitzel

This is a Fiction novel. I chose this book because I have always been interested in time travel and adventure books. It caught my eye when it said Thomas Edison and also when it was saying that it was adventure book.





This book is about a young kid ,Qwerty Stevens,who always has trouble with his parents but can never do anything about it. But one day as he was doing his favorite thing,digging holes, he finds a strange box. This looked like nothing he had never seen in his life. He later finds out from his friend Joey that it is a time machine that Thomas Edison had invented a long time ago. As the young boys thought this was a find of there life, it really isn't because they figure out how to work it, and they go a few minutes back in time. But they didn't think that was good enough, so they take a adventure over 100 years ago. And they end up in Thomas Edisons factory where they see how to make all of his great inventions. But what they didnt know was they were going to be in the biggest pickle of there yuong lives. If you read this book it will change the way you look at time travle. The title pretty much tells the story itself, because the book is all about going back in time, and how they get to meet and spend a little time with Thomas Edison. If I could ask three questions for Dan Gutman one would definatly be why he chose the idea of Qwerty digging holes in his back yard? Another one would be why he chose Qwerty as the main character's name? And the last question I would have to ask would be what interested you in making a novel about time travel. I chose these questions because they were the best questions I could think of and I thought it would be really cool to see what the authors answers would be. And if you have never read any of these books you better because I never read books but this book was really cool in my opinion.

Significance of the title?

Be sure to edit, many grammar/conventions mistakes.
