Annie McGwire is a typical twelve year old girl who lives with her widowed father. She is smart, likes to hang around with her best friend Mitch, and has a super-genius uncle who has just invented the world's first time machine. But when Mitch's curiosity results in him being lost in time, and her uncle being questioned by police, it is up to Annie to save them both. As she stumbles through time, Annie meets and is assisted by Simon, a robot with a secret. Will Annie and Simon be able to work together to save Mitch? Probably. Will Annie learn Simon's secret? Most Likely. Will there be flying cars in the future? Nope ("sorry"). Annie McGwire and the Time Flyer is the story of a girl who learns that getting things right isn't easy, even with the help of a time machine. She also learns that getting a second chance can be the greatest gift one could ever receive. (20 chapters, 52,000 words)
