(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Blake Henry. When three teenagers visit their eccentric grandfather, one of them is kidnapped and taken back to the prehistoric era. The other two, along with a new friend, use their grandfather's time machine to rescue her. Though the characters never fully come to life and the resolution is a bit abrupt, the action, mystery, and dinosaurs are great draws.
