Synopsis
Leo sees a tiny time machine in his bedroom, ridden by a small girl and, he realizes, a tiny version of himself. His search for answers leads him to a library that lends objects instead of books. Its hidden basement holds a collection of gadgets from classic science fiction, including a famous time machine. When his adventure turns dangerous, Leo travels back to 1895 to warn the inventor Nikola Tesla about a risky invention, racing against the clock. The book is a humorous time-travel story set in the same repository as The Grimm Legacy.
