I almost hate to post a query like this, but here goes:
I don't have any idea of the author or the real plot of the book.
I think that the book may be part of a series of books. (I could easily
be wrong.) It is a juvenile.
What I do remember is this: A group of kids had somehow found a time
machine. In this time machine they were able to do things like go
one hour ahead of the present, and watch what was happening in the
present. To be honest, that's all I remember about it, but if anyone
could help, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean.

Sure wish I'd saved them. In the first story the possession of the time machine by the kids is already assumed. It isn't until the last story I remember reading that they actually reveal how the kids had gotten ahold of it. It was a neat device! Shaped like a flying saucer, it could appear anywhere at any time. (Even hover if necessary.) I remember that there was a model of a globe on the control panel that you moved a marker over to pinpoint a location on earth. I remember the stories as very well written. Certainly, they had a profound effect on my own imagination, and I spent many nights imagining what it would have been like to have owned such a vehicle. Were these stories ever published in book form? Ron -- -- Ronald O.
