Time Traveler Herbie #1

Herbie Popnecker accidentally stumbles into a time-traveling mishap when he’s given a mysterious lollipop that sends him hurtling back to the era of Napoleon Bonaparte—no grandfather clock needed, just a nap. With only his wits, a few questionable choices, and the ever-unhelpful Professor Flipdome’s notes to guide him, Herbie must navigate history’s most dramatic nap zone before he’s stuck in the past for good.

Herbie Popnecker zooms back to 1492 with a single mission: score an autograph from Christopher Columbus. But when he discovers the world isn’t round after all, he still finds a way to help the explorer make history—just not the way anyone expected.

Herbie Popnecker and his dad Pincus are all in on a scheme to fund Pincus’s bid for Men’s Club president by selling fake pirate gold at the town fair—but when the phony treasure flops, Herbie’s got to pull out his time machine to fetch the real thing. With Mrs. Popnecker watching from the sidelines, this family adventure turns into a high-stakes race against history.
