Is Grandpa a history thief?
After discovering a time machine in their grandparents' attic, eight-year-old Hazel and her little sister, Bess, are faced with a huge problem. Should they use it again?
Going in the attic is against the rules, but then, so is stealing. And there's also a trunk full of stolen items from history in the attic that should be returned, or at least looked at a little closer.
But when she and Bess look inside the trunk this time, it's empty. Does their grumpy grandfather know what they've been up to? Is he trying to stop them, or does he want them to try a little harder?
The second stop on this time travel adventure is to 1879 to meet Thomas Edison at Menlo Park to learn that success often includes setbacks, and plenty of them. The trick is to never give up.
