Average rating
A brand-new buddy comedy from the internationally renowned comic artist Simone Lia.
Marcus is in trouble. He didn’t think his friend Laurence would actually believe him when he said his super brainy aunt built the very first time machine. After all, he only invented the story in a spur of the moment bid to win a silly argument! Now how on earth will he make it come true? In this hilarious and quirky new adventure starring the most unlikely of friends – a worm and a bird – Simone Lia pulls out all the theatrical stops to create a perfectly brilliant and laugh-out-loud companion to They Didn’t Teach THIS in Worm School!
Reviews
I liked the book because the worm stopped the baddie from firing slugs into the air and fired it to America. It was a happy ending as the baddie was gone forever.

The second book in a series of two, but you really don't need to have read the first one ('They Didn't Teach THIS in Worm School!'). A very quick read, you can probably finish it in just an hour. I recommend it if you're looking for something hilarious and quirky!

It's very funny and it is a story about a worm and a bird who looks like a chicken.

It was non fiction I liked Marcus the worm it was not factual it interested me because it was a nice cover and a good title. The title is true. I would recommend it to someone who likes non fiction books but also not faire tale.

It was a strange book about time travelling. I recommend it for those who like a bit of change

I thought it was funny, because they were silly. My favourite bit was when they met the slugs that saved them from the cardboard stocks. My favourite person was the worm because he was helpful. I would recommend it to someone else because it was a good book. I would recommend it to my sister and my friend.

I thought that the book was very funny and enjoyable. My favourite person was Marcus because he is imagnitive and funny. Yes, if you like friendship, a virity of animals and kindness.

This is fiction book. I really enjoyed the book and it was funny. I liked Marcus the worm who comes up with an idea to get his friend Lawrence the bird into trouble. About Time Machine

This book was great. It was funny. It surprised me that a bird and a worm were friends. I liked it because they pretended that they went back in time. I recommend it and I want to read her other book.

This book is about a worm called Marcus who lies to his friend Laurence, a bird about his Aunt making a time machine. He then has to try make one. To do this he has to read a book about quantum physic . He then he asks a bird called Vera to help him. She does it before it stops raining like Marcus should of. Then they play outside. I rate this book 4 out of 5 because it is silly and made me laugh
