The three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. From whom? Well the CIA, naturally. But also corporate agents #5, #29, and # 207, plus two international superspies -- one of whom happens to be a chimpanzee. They all want Dr. Cheeseman and his late wife's greatest invention–a machine with unspeakable powers–OK, I'll say it. It's a time machine. But it's not working right yet, so put all ideas of time travel out of your head.
Instead, please enjoy this high stakes, high action, hijinx-filled chase, and the bizarre characters our Cheeseman friends will meet as they protect not just their parents' invention, but their mother's sacred memory. It's an adventure novel like no other.
Oh yeah, and did we mention the entertaining, plot-exposition filled, unsolicited advice you'll receive along the way? So you didn't ask for it? Yeah, that's why it's unsolicited.

swagaliciousTuesday, March 4, 2014 at 12:02 pmThis book was really good and I went through it pretty quickly. It's all about a family that has three kids and a father named Mr. Cheeseman. When Mr. Cheeseman"s wife, Olivia, passes away,he has a brilliant idea to make a time machine (AKA the LVR)to bring back his beautiful wife and mother for the three. But, of course since it is a time machine, bad guys try to take it away. It's a really fun and quick book. I highly recommend it for all!
bookish5Friday, August 2, 2013 at 2:05 pmThis was a quick read that I found very different from any other book I've read. It features a psychic dog, a time machine, and a man on the run from the CIA with his three kids. It was full of adventure and suspense and I also really enjoyed the sequel!
