Trevor the Time Traveler and the Murkian Threat

Trevor and his sister Farrah are in the fifth and fourth grades. How did they get a time machine? And why does everyone think they are the key to saving the galaxy?"Trevor the Time Traveler" is a fun story, first and foremost, about Trevor, his sister Farrah, and their adventures. However, there is a lot of true science in the book. Even the “science fiction" is as consistent with modern physics as the author could make it. The author is a professor of mathematics and physics at Duke University. He studies black holes, dark matter, and the curvature of space and time. “I wrote this story for my kids to teach them as many of the coolest, mind blowing ideas as I could, as well as how to be a good person. But when I was done, I realized this was a fun book for adults as well. Where else will you find general relativity explained to a fifth grader in a story with wormhole jump ropes, bullies, secret agents, gamblers, dinosaurs, aliens, and a flying unicorn who can talk, read minds, and grant wishes?”This book is the perfect gift for boys and girls to get them interested in science. It is also great for adults who enjoy fantasy, science fiction, and high level discussions of some of the greatest ideas ever discovered.
