Description

FREEZE TIME. RUN AT SUPER SPEED. OWN A TIME MACHINE. SAVE THE MULTIVERSE TODAY.

What if the only person who could destroy everything…was you?

Johnny thought he was just an ordinary kid—until he discovered he could stop time, outrun bullets, and leap between alternate realities. Cool, right?

Not so much when your future self turns out to be a ruthless tyrant bent on ruling the multiverse.

Now Johnny’s in a race against time—literally—battling his sinister twin across worlds where anything is possible and nothing is safe. Armed with a brassy, wise-cracking robot guardian and a baby time machine with a mind of its own, he faces enemies that twist physics, shatter reality, and play with fear like it’s a toy.

Every leap takes him closer to the showdown that will decide everything.

Every choice risks turning him into the very villain he’s trying to stop.

Packed with super Marvel-level action, jaw-dropping twists, and a hero you can’t help but root for, this sci-fi thrill ride isn’t just about saving the multiverse—it’s about facing your fears, outsmarting your doubts, and proving that the best version of you can win.

If you love time travel with a twist, pulse-pounding adventure, and heroes who feel like you, this is your next obsession.

Ready to step into the time stream? The multiverse is counting on you. Buy this book now!

I bought "How to Build a Time Machine" for my grandson, but couldn't put it down!! It is filled with excitement, adventure, amazing places, and very relatable characters. This book had me rooting for everyone and often at the edge of my seat with all the unexpected twists and turns. I can't wait to share it with my grandson. I highly recommend it and look forward to the continuation of Johnny and Harmony's adventures in the multiverse in Book Two!

HTBATM is a rollicking good read, especially for its target audience, ages One through Ninety Five! Fast moving, funny and teeming with likeable characters it belongs on everyone’s Timeline. HG Wells would approve. 👍🏼The only negative is there are no step-by-step instructions for building your own Time Machine. Perhaps we can ask Dr. Novick to include them in his next novel?

This book combines a relatable hero, Johnny, with epic stakes and magic! I enjoyed the fast-paced energy of the scenes, the immersive details, and the emotional roller-coaster of a young boy who possesses some incredible talents and is motivated by love for his family as he struggles to survive a chaotic universe and an unusual villain as he learns to wield his powers. A fun read!
