Description

We get it. Car rides can be boring. And when things get boring, time slows down. So much so that it might start going BACKWARD - into the time of pirates! Of princesses! Of dinosaurs! You were just trying to go to your grandmother's birthday party. But when time flies, who knows where - or WHEN - you'll end up. After reading this wildly inventive book - that even turns upside down! - you'll never look at being bored the same way again. 'It's a remarkable feat - a turbocharged adventure that's also a meditation on the relative nature of time.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
