Summary: Andrew and Judy are cousins. Their Uncle Al is a scientist who invented a Time-A-Tron time-travel machine. When they find themselves caught in the time of dinosaurs in the middle of fires caused by an asteroid, it takes the help of their robot buddy Thudd to help them escape. Right when they think they’re safe though, they found themselves stuck in the Ice Age! The only good that comes of this is that Andrew and Judy are finally reunited with their Uncle Al thanks to a DNA Detector. Once all is settled, they are under the impression their adventures are over for the day and they’ll soon be heading home.
To their surprise, this isn’t the case. Doctor Kron-Tox, a scientist who invented a different time machine, the Tick-Tox Box, is capturing animals from different time periods and hiding them in a glacier. It is up to them to save the animals! It will take smarts and skills to insure Doctor Kron-Tox doesn’t put an end to their heroism. Along the way they will encounter dangerous animals and a group of people carrying spears they’ve never seen before. Will they have enough time before the flood to save the animals?
Implementation: Though this book is science fantasy, it does have a lot of genuine science concepts incorporated such as: what a glacier is; what animal in the world may have the best sense of smell; why Earth has ice ages; what makes a teratorn bird so special. Boys would definitely find themselves “lost” in this book series with Andrew and his gang. Some of the text will propose a challenge to readers. They will have to practice pronunciation, use of context clues and comprehension to successfully read and understand this book.
