I liked The Tremendous Baron Time Machine. It kept me interested until the end. It was well written and engaging. It evoked emotion. The story was beautifully written, with a consistent style and tone, and efficiency of description that didn't slow the pace. It was original, and well-written. An excellent addition to the genre. The dialogue in it was nice and tight

This series is just fun. It's one of those that doesn't even try to take itself seriously. Adding time travel into the mix just made it that much more enjoyable, especially when things like the great wall of China was explained.

One of the things I really like about this series is that even though the parents are inventors and come up with crazy ideas, they have a base in reality, which makes them something kids are more likely to understand. We can all image what it would be like to be in a flying house or have a pen that would take you to the time and place your write down.

So far, this is my favorite book in the series.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book and discovered I was missing an amazing series, a must read if you're a Pratchett fan.
I loved the humour that made me laugh out loud and loved the plot and the characters.
I think adult will enjoy this book as it's a great read.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Amberjack Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

"The Tremendous Baron Time Machine" It is the fourth book from the saga "The Bizarre Baron Inventions” by Eric Bower. It’s a mix between adventure and science fiction. The main character is W.B., who along with his family have some difficulties because someone is trying to destroy their family, for this reason he must take on a trip to save his family. The novel is accompanied by illustrations and drawings as the story progresses. It is a fun and enjoyable book; the main subject is the bond of love and support between the family. The book can be read and enjoy by both children and adults

Thanks to NetGalley, for sending me the digital version of the book "The Tremendous Baron Time Machine".

I received an electronic version from Amberjack Publishing through NetGalley.
The humorous adventures continue in the latest book about the Baron family. This time a mortal enemy of McLaron has invented a time machine that changes the family's lives. Needless to say, P (McLaron) also has a time machine and they set off to fix the problems. Adventures galore as they revisit the trials and triumphs from the first three books. Family members continue to be erased until WB is the only one left. He confronts Werbert and takes a voyage through various time periods as they wrestle to either destroy or save his family.
Mid grade readers will delight in the dry humor and relatable cartoonish characters Bower has created.
The realistic illustrations reinforce the farce of the storyline.

tl;dr: Time machines can be a bad idea

This fast middle-grade reader novel was a surprise. The story has a sort of Pritchett-like absurdism, on an age-appropriate level. I liked the pacing and the characters. But, i particularly enjoyed the way the book was about togetherness, with family meetings, family disappearance, and collective problem-solving. This book would be ideal for someone who doesn't realize reading can be enjoyable. I mean nutso squirrels! Also, shout out to the illustrator who did a wonderful job.
