Bookroo's summary
Marcus, a worm, faces a dilemma when his bird friend Laurence believes his fib about a time machine. To win an argument, Marcus claimed his aunt invented it, but now he must turn fiction into reality. As this unlikely duo embarks on a hilarious quest, can Marcus conjure a solution before his tale unravels? Dive into a whimsical adventure where friendship and imagination collide, and discover if Marcus can escape the web of his own making. Will their bond withstand the test of time—or the lack thereof?
From the publisher
Comic artist Simone Lia brings back the unlikely duo from They Didn’t Teach THIS in Worm School! in another buddy comedy. Marcus is in trouble. He didn’t think his friend Laurence would actually believe him when he said that his super brainy aunt built the very first time machine. He only made up the story in a spur-of-the-moment bid to win a silly argument! Now how on earth will he make the story come true? In a quirky new adventure starring the most unexpected of friends – a worm and a bird – Simone Lia pulls out all the theatrical stops to deliver a laugh-out-loud companion to They Didn’t Teach THIS in Worm School!
