History meets hijinks in this first title in a hilarious new middle
grade series for fans of Timmy Failure and The Terrible Two, when Ben
Franklin accidentally time travels to a 10-year-old's home in 21st
century America!
Nolan is a typical kid living in a typical 21st century American town.
Ben Franklin is, well, Ben Franklin--Founding Father, inventor of the
lightning rod and bifocals, and more. When, through a bizarre set of
circumstances, Nolan and his little sister, Olive, find Ben in their
house, chaos isn't far behind.
From introducing him to the toaster to taking him to the public library
(another Ben invention) to preventing a nosy neighbor from blowing Ben's
cover, Nolan does his best to be Ben's tour guide to the new world he
helped form.
With tons of funny illustrations throughout--plus graphic novel-style
sections interspersed--readers will love adventuring alongside this
awesome threesome.
