Alex and the Amazing Time Machine

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. Fifth-grade genius Alex constructs a time machine out of duct tape, some mirrors, and an iPod--in doing so, he saves his brother from evil kidnappers from the future; launches his father's writing career; and inadvertently makes his dog the first domesticated pet in the prehistoric world. A clever and entertaining time-travel adventure.
