Have you ever wished you could go back in time and change history? Well, in this book, one student gets to do just that. After getting a question wrong on a history test, a child decides to change history. The idea is to change the past, so that the answers he put on the test will be correct. However, changing history has many consequences, as this student soon finds. While I did not think this book, I did not think it was a terrible book. I just found it difficult to follow and it was not my favorite. ( )

I adored this book. The story was hilarious, and the illustrations were just perfect. It tells the story of a student who missed one question on her history test. She decides to take a time machine back in history to change the outcome of her history test. While she's there, two cavemen take her time machine for themselves and come back with all new clothes. She goes back to the present and realizes the cavemen ruined her test grade. This was such a cute book, and it's a great example on not changing your past. ( )

Summary: A girl missed a question on her history test. So she goes back in time and changes history so that her answer was correct. However her plan gets messed up and she changes history too much. ( )

This is a science fiction picture book. This book is about a girl who misses a question on her history quiz, so she builds a time machine to go back in time and change history so her answer is correct. While she's in the past, cavemen take her timemachine and bring all sorts of things back to their time that don't belong. When she goes back to the present time after her history quiz, she gets every question wrong except for the one she originally got wrong. This was a pretty good science fiction picture book because it showed how dangerous it would be if we had time machines. The comic-like illustrations worked very well with the genre. I would use this book to talk about time travel and ask my students for fun if they would use a time machine and where they would want to go back in time. It could be a good segue into how we don't have time travel so we should make our present count. The illustrations in this book were created by using adobe photoshop.

This is the story of a girl who doesn't do well on her history test so she decides to build a time machine, which takes her to Belgium in 1815 during the Caveman era, as well as many different eras, teaching her about the importance of history and that our era is not actually as bad as she had imagined.

Oh no. Not again. What a disaster. This is even worse than that time I built a gigantic rampaging robot.
Quotations
Mac Long-Napper was the son of Bryan Child-Healer, son of Robert Child-Healer, son of Edwin Child-Healer. Mac was injured at the battle of Redwood Forest Preschool, when Ryan the Cruel made him swallow a rock. Mac fled and became a writer of books about whales and mustaches and sweaters and detectives. In the words of the poets Shawn Half-Beard:

Mac never fails to mention
That he built a time-travel convenience store
Finally that fact is relevant
It's called the Echo Park Time Travel Mart

The saga continues at marcbarnett.com (author description)
Dan the Spartan was left behind during the battle of Thermopylae because he was the only soldier unfit to fulfill the requirements of the Greek physical. A few years later he hung up his sword and shield, picked up his paintbrushes, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a child's artist and storyteller.
