Ice Age Paradox. Max Sterling Adventures, #1

Three kids. One time machine. Endless trouble. Max Sterling didn't mean to rewrite history. He just wanted to see if he could. Fourteen years old, absurdly brilliant, and catastrophically impulsive, Max builds a time machine in his garage-and promptly vanishes. Left behind: his best friend Nick, who's not built for emergencies, and Max's twelve-year-old sister Chloe, whose encyclopedic brain has zero patience for nonsense.
Their mission is simple: track Max across time and bring him home. Their first stop? The Ice Age. Mammoths thunder across the plains. Saber-tooth cats prowl the shadows. The Clovis people guard secrets carved in bone and stone. But survival is only the beginning. With the machine's charge ticking down-and something ancient watching from the dark-they must solve cryptic clues before time runs out. And the Ice Age is just the start.
Across twenty-five pulse-pounding adventures, Max, Nick, and Chloe will battle tyrants, outwit conquerors, and protect history itself from those who would twist it. Because time isn't just a destination. It's a battlefield. For fans of Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, and The Mysterious Benedict Society-a breakneck new series where genius, loyalty, and courage decide the fate of history.
