Book details
Mark Dunn - Author
This is a playful speculative adventure built around altered physical laws, time reversal and the comic predicament of two teenagers becoming babies. Its central appeal appears to be imaginative problem-solving rather than realistic everyday experience.
Thirteen-year-old twins Rodney and Wayne McCall and their friend Professor Johnson are the only people in Pitcherville who can see that all the natural laws of the universe have stopped applying to their town. When everyone in Pitcherville wakes up twelve years in the past, baby Rodney and baby Wayne must locate the Professor and find a way to get back to the present. From the critically-acclaimed author of Ella Minnow Pea comes yet another mind-bending tale of wit and whimsy for the whole family to enjoy.
