TIMEBENDER BREAKING THROUGH TIME...
COOL!
...IN AN OLD VW BEETLE!
HUH?

I'm Max McCrane, third generation inventor! When I'm not in Victor Appleton Middle School, I can be found in my home lab testing out my latest invention.

The best thing I've come up with so far is Timebender. It's an old 1960's VW Beetle [without an engine], and it can actually bend time and travel to the past or future.

So hop in and join my friends and me in some cool time-travel adventures.

ADVENTURE #1: BATTLE BEFORE TIME

I don't mean to cause trouble--I just like to invent stuff. But whenever I invent something, trouble just kind of happens. I was only planning to prove to Allie and Grady that my latest invention, Timebender really worked.

It was suppose to be a first, we had a close encounter with a hungry T. Rex. Then, just when I thought I had Timebender headed back to our own time, we ended up somewhere before time--in the middle of a full-scale war!

Planets blowing up...weird lights were whirling all around us...we were running out of air...and there was no way back! That's when we met a strange new friend who changed our lives forever.
