Description:

"Mark knew...his dad left because of him. It was his fault." Mark Prescott is sure that's why his mom had to the small town of Odyssey. Oh how he wishes things could return to the way they were, before his dad left.

 

Mark hates being a newcomer. He's not too thrilled about his only new friend being a girl. That is, until Patti tells him about a time machine called the Imagination Station at Whit's End. Mark figures that's the answer to all his problems.

 

If he can only go back in time to the day his dad left, then Mark is sure he can bring his parents back together again. But first he's got to get past the time machine's eccentric inventor, John Avery Whittaker, "Whit." As Mark's adventures unfold, he learns lessons about friendship, responsibility, and living with change.

 

Rating:

*****

Well written, but lacks suspense, intrigue, and thrill. This is the kind of book you set down every few minutes to go get a bag of Doritos. It has its good moments, contains good descriptions of Mr. Whittaker and Whit's End, however the Imagination Station's inventing doesn't line up to when it is truly invented in the audio series.

 

 

Book:

This novel is no longer available, however, this book has been re-released in a new multivolume edition, Strange Journey Back.
