APPEALS TO: SOME

5th grader Liam meant to summon Thomas Edison with the janky time machine.  Instead, he gets a different Thomas Edison - Tommy Twinkles from 1933, who is much more interested in robbing banks than helping Liam find a way to send him back. Maybe Elsa, Liam’s super smart friend can help Liam out of this jam.

For boys with short attention spans who like absurd premises.  Kind of an elementary version of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures (for us old people who remember it). Buy it based on how fondly you remember that movie. The characters default to white.
