Elsa and Liam embark on a wild quest through time to the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, seeking a treasure that could reveal the fate of Elsa's missing grandfather. Armed with a rickety time machine and a mountain of pickles, they face rival time travelers and unravel the secrets of the White City. Will they find the treasure and save Elsa's grandfather, or will the past remain a mystery? Join their hilarious, high-stakes adventure filled with unexpected twists and new alliances.

From the publisher

The $3 time machine strikes again in this second installment in the illustrated novel series perfect for fans who love funny, unexpected adventures and wacky plot twists from best-selling author Dustin Brady. Legend says that an eccentric millionaire hid a treasure somewhere inside the legendary “White City” at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. Elsa and Liam have reason to believe that treasure holds the key to finding Elsa’s grandfather who disappeared mysteriously over a year ago. The kids decide to break out the duct tape and twist ties to reassemble the World’s Worst Time Machine. They’re on the hunt! Liam and Elsa are not the only time travellers after the treasure. Not even close. If they’re going to survive long enough to untangle the secrets of the White City, they’ll need to upgrade their technology, make a few new friends, and rely on each other like never before. Oh, also, they’re going to need a LOT of pickles.
