By Dwayne Blackaller

Brochure with full information available in sidebar.

Available February 13th – April 27th

Recommended for Students in Kindergarten – Grade 6

Travel through time to witness H.G. Wells as a young man attempting to write about inventions, contraptions, doohikeys, and thing-a-ma-jigs. Encouraged by his best friend, Philby, H.G. Wells struggles to feel confident about his writing. In turn he encourages Philby to find her passion.  As we see the beginnings of famous novels such as The Invisible Man and The Time Machine, we also see a friendship and a bond strong enough to help shape the future.

“These books, they’re all time machines. With these, you’re talkin’ to people. To future people! Who knows what they’ll build? Maybe heat rays? Maybe invisible doohickeys! And all because you dreamed it up! Maybe even flying machines?” – Philby (H.G. Wells’ best friend)
