Back to the Ice Age: Time Blasters (Graphic Sparks)

Description

David is stuck with the world's worst babysitter. But when she accidentally zaps herself back in time, his problems are far from over. If she's still missing when his parents get back, they'll freak out! David and his friend, Ben, must blast into the past to save the stranded sitter.

Born in 1962 in Denver, Colorado, Scott Nickel works by day at Paws, inc., Jim Davis's famous Garfield studio, and he freelances by night. Burning the midnight oil, Scott has created hundreds of humorous greeting cards and written several children's books, short fiction for Boys' Life magazine, comic strips, and lots of really funny knock-knock jokes. He was raised in southern California, but in 1995 Scott moved to Indiana, where he currently lives with his wife, two sons, six cats, and several sea monkeys. Enrique (ehn-REE-kay) Corts became a professional illustrator at age 19, working on short stories for a Spanish comic magazine. After finishing his art studies, he entered the graphic design and advertising world, spending endless hours chained to his computer. Later, he worked as a concept artist in Great Britain on video games such as Worms 3d, EyeToy Play 3, and Play 4. Enrique lives in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Enrique thinks perhaps someday he will go back to his native Valencia in his quest for more sunlight.

This silly science-fiction adventure is fast-paced. The contemporary dialogue, easy to follow plot, and bright cartoon pictures are sure to attract the youngsters, and will be especially appealing to struggling and reluctant readers.-- "Garland Independent School District (Garland, TX)"
