From the bestselling author of Giant Days comes the latest
pocket-sized volume in his beloved Bad Machinery series!
Time is a fickle creature, especially when there's wormhole in the
science cupboard. When a strange boy who seems far too entranced by cell
phones appears, it's up to Lottie, Shauna, and Mildred to figure out his
strange purposes. The Case of the Forked Road, the seventh book in
John Allison's award-winning Bad Machinery series, finds our young
sleuths facing the intricacies of time and space itself. What is their
science teacher hiding? Who is the mysterious Calvin, why is he dressed
like it's 1960, and why is he obsessed with Communists? And another
thing: just what is going on with Jack, Sonny, and Linton? Includes a
slipcover so that this volume can fit horizontally on the shelves with
the rest of the series!
