Introduction
In which we meet our fellow inventors, and see how much our past attempts at making a time machine suck.
Hi. I’m Karry. I am a fourteen year old inventor. I like egg salad sandwiches, happy-face stickers, and pranking my brother, Larry.
Larry... Larry is my brother. My twin brother. We’re really close, but sometimes he can be really irritating. Like, really irritating. That’s why I like pranking him so much.
I have a dog named Harry. He’s pretty smart. He likes reading and dried liver treats.
Harry has a twin brother as well. His name is Barry. Barry is Larry’s dog.

I should probably tell you why I am writing in this book in the first place. Our boss wants me to be keeping a book that includes all of the information on our latest project.
You see, the four of us are making a time machine for some very special clients. We aren’t allowed to know who they are.
As you can probably tell, we’ve been having some trouble.
Test 1

Took us to Sweden instead of China. Very confusing when I tried to have a conversation in Mandarin. Date stayed the same.

Test 3

Went to witch-hunt in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692. Very fitting for Halloween, but not where we wanted to go at all.

Test 4
8/11/19
Took us to China, so right place, but date was 1870 instead of 1970. A century off! I thought we’d fixed this problem!

Test 5
23/11/19
Finally! Right place, right time! Only problem is that the machine is so huge and boxy that someone mistook us for a UFO and tried to shoot us out of the sky. It was a close call!

FAIL
Finally, we’ve made a model that takes us to the right place and the right time, without being huge and conspicuous. At least, I think it does. We haven’t tested it yet.
