Time-Travel Runaway

Margaret Bunel Edwards is the author of Little Stitch, The Ocean
Between, and The ABCs of Writing for Children.

In Time-Travel Runaway, Bill finds himself the target of a bully, Shaun.
He meets Mr. Cromwell, a mysterious neighbor who has invented a time
machine. After getting into trouble for fighting, Bill enters the
machine and winds up surrounded by dinosaurs. He encounters a newborn
dinosaur, whom he names Cory and resolves to protect. Bill ends up
outwitting a huge Albertosaurus and returning Cory safely to his herd.
Back home, he discovers that his adventures have given him the
confidence he needs to stand up to Shaun.

In Cousin Clash, Bill returns to the land of the dinosaurs, this time
accompanied by his trouble-making cousin Donnie. The two are forced to
cooperate in order to find food and outwit a variety of predators. When
Donnie is trapped in a mud flat, Bill comes to his rescue; Donnie, in
turn, tells Bill about his abusive father. Back in the present, the two
boys begin a close friendship.

Exciting adventures and unusual plot twists will keep the reader
immersed in both of these stories. Bill’s underlying personal problems
are solved in a satisfying way. Each book contains a glossary that
provides information about the various dinosaur names mentioned in the
text. Highly recommended.
