The Bunjee Venture

ISBN 0590301624 - The only real complaint I've got is that understanding what Bunjee says is a little difficult sometimes - but other than that, great book! Andy and Karen's father loves to invent things, and his hobby has been pretty harmless so far because nothing has ever worked! This time, Mr. Winsborrow has invented a time machine. When he shows it off for his family, it explodes and his wife is certain that he's finally blown himself to bits. Andy, however, is sure that his father has succeeded and is now stranded in prehistoric times! To rescue their father, Andy and Karen follow his time machine blueprint and manage to get it working. Now all three of them need to find their way home again. Along the way, they have incredible adventures and discover Bunjee, the last of his kind, and a creature so long extinct that no one has ever heard of them. Bunjee can speak and is so excited to find other speaking beings that he doesn't want to be left behind when they finally go home! Not at all even remotely realistic - and that, in this case, is a very good thing! All budding, young sci-fi fans will enjoy it. - AnnaLovesBooks

Great Book!

This Book is a must for any adventure/sci-fi lover. I first read it when I was 8, and I lost it. I need to find another copy for my children.

Kids build time machine, rescue Dad, meet dinosaurs.

This is a tale of two siblings who rebuild their father's partly successful time machine, and go back in time to the dinosaur era to rescue him. During their search and rescue escapades, they meet and befriend a talking "Bungee" dinosaur, and end up taking him with them back to present day England. Much hilarity and heartwarming moments ensue. I am terribly upset that this book is no longer in print!

This is the greatest book I've ever read!

No question about it... This book is GREAT!
