Inventor-in-Training Books 1-3 D M Darroch

Three fast-paced sci-fi adventures packed with pirates, cyborgs, mastodons, and one tough granny.




MEET ANGUS CLARK. HIS BRAIN IS HIS SUPERPOWER.




A malfunctioning invention sends inventor-in-training Angus Clark on an unplanned vacation to one weird parallel universe after another. Armed only with his ingenuity and a trusty screwdriver, Angus joins forces with frenemy Ivy Calloway to set the worlds right and find his way back home.




Join Angus and Ivy as they outwit pirates, battle prehistoric animals, and save their friends from a buggy future.




Get all three adventures in one volume. Includes: The Pirate's Booty, The Crystal Lair, and Cyborgia.




In The Pirate's Booty, a laboratory mishap vaults inventor-in-training Angus Clark to a parallel pirate world. Aboard the Fearsome Flea, Angus is the lowest of the low. And the mutineer in charge has murder on her mind. His parents have their own troubles. Their clever son has swapped places with a pirate. And middle school may never be the same with a cannon boy in attendance.




In the Crystal Lair, the World Jumper has misfired and inventor-in-training Angus Clark finds himself in a primitive, snowy village with no running water, no electricity, and enormous animals that haven't roamed the earth for thousands of years. Together with fearless Ivy Calloway, Angus must battle a prehistoric monster, rescue his little sister, and live in a tiny cottage full of ornery women.




In Cyborgia, Angus travels to a gray polymer world of cyborgs, technology, and mosquito swarms. Joining forces with a robotic cat and a six-legged Billy Roberts, Angus must break Ivy out of quarantine, develop an antidote, and clean up after his worst alter ever.




Breakneck pacing, lighthearted humor, and two overlapping storylines will delight quick-witted readers looking for an adventurous good time.
