Reviews
"Querty Stevens finds a anytime anywhere machine... he connects it to his computer and he goes anywere he wants to. But when He gets stuck in time he is in a pickle.
I liked this book a lot. I recommend it to anyone that likes inventions and mystery stories. I like when Querty gets to go anywhere that he wants." - Mr Hammond's Website
"Even better than Gutman's Qwerty Stevens, Back in Time (about Edison and the making of a time machine). The story is comical when Franklin visits school and adventurous as the boys assist Franklin in stopping a plot to change history." - Book Advice
