The new bike isn't pretty...
Not like the slick, red, twenty-one-speed bike that was stolen the very night Eddy had received it as a birthday present. The bike that Prince Krishna sent is old-fashioned and has a wicker basket -- the kind of bike no self-respecting boy like Eddy would be caught dead riding. Soon, though, Eddy doesn't care how the bike looks, because it has the ability to travel in ways he never thought possible -- in the fourth dimension. Eddy can't wait to take the ride of his life, visit important dates in history, and find a way to bypass exam week. But trips through time can have unpredictable results, and they're not always without danger...

Extremely boring. I couldn't be bothered to finish a book that the author didn't bother to put a real plot into.
