    Sally Tinker is the world's foremost inventor under the age of twelve. She has a younger brother, Joe, a toddler, who has four serious faults. This includes mess-making, breaking Sally's machines, constantly being sticky, smelly, and wet, and being impossible to control. According to Sally, Joe is obviously defective. In the first part of this Graphic Novel, Sally sets out to design her perfect robot brother (Brobot). Brobot is designed with a non-stick synthetic polymer to clean up messes, fix broken machines, and respond to commands. But Sally forgot to program Brobot to understand how a toddler works. In the second part of this Graphic Novel, Sally creates a time travel machine called the Space-Time Instantaneous Conveyer (STINC). Along with her friends, Charli (biologist) and Rav (astrophysicist & amateur magician), and her younger brother Joe, Sally travels back in time to see if the family legend about her ancestor, Princess Sylvia, is true. According to the legend, Sylvia was attacked by a fire-breathing lizard and saved by a knight, a wizard, a goblin and a witch. The group travel back in time to investigate, hoping to avoid changing history. A hilarious and engaging two-part book with toilet humour and an outlandish plot.
