When Steve brings home a time machine he bought for $2,50 at a garage sale, Max is suspicious. "There' s no such thing as time travel. Or time machines." Then they both end up in the year 1250 in medieval England -- Steve as Sir Robert Marshall and Max as his horse! -- and Max must admit the machine works.
Sir Robert soon finds himself in the midst of a duel to the death with the Hampshire mauler, defending not only his honor, but his life. Can Max rescue him? Will the machine return him in time to spare his life? The 20th century never looked so good.

US author, all of whose books have been written in collaboration with her husband, Bob Ruddick; her work is exclusively aimed at the younger end of the Young Adult market, and includes two series, the Max and Me sequence beginning with Max and Me and the Time Machine (1983) with Bob Ruddick, in which a piece of junk turns out to be a time machine that carries young Max (see Time Travel) into medieval England; and the Jason sequence beginning with Jason and the Aliens Down the Street (1991 chap) with Bob Ruddick, that undemandingly confronts young Jason with an Alien; no further Jason titles were released.

This was a good read aloud. I read to my 7 yo and he is now reading it on his own, so clearly he liked it. However, there is a lot of boy likes girl humor that was over his head so maybe it is targeted at a slightly older audience.

I read this one many years ago and I am not sure it would stand up well to re-reading. But I remember cracking up so much over the review of proper manners for medieval dining.

Sorta funny, sorta exciting in bits, but mostly pretty stupid. Read very much like a mistaken pull from a slush pile....

I really liked this book when I was a kid, and I loved having my parents read it to me. It was really funny and exciting for me, because I was really into knights as a boy. A really good children's novel.
