CHAPTER ONE BACK IN TIME Luis Sanchez sat on his back porch knees pulled to his chin He stared at the large shed in the field just past his backyard It seemed like a dream but just an hour before he had been on a spaceship He and his best friends Tyler and Casey Jenson and Tyler's robot cat Steel had snuck into his dad's shed Tyler and Casey had found a strange looking key at their dad's house They had brought it over sure it would fit the big lock on the shed They were right They knew there was something secret their fathers were working on inside but they'd never dreamed it was a time machine A time machine
