Not hilariously funny, but funny in bits story of a friendship between a bird and a worm, who live together.
The whole story is that we should be truthful with our friends, and tell them how we really feel. Because, when we don't, we get in a world of lies, including claiming that you have access to a time machine.
And, in order to pull it off, Marcos has to come up with some way to get his hands on a time machine.
The simpler thing to do would be to explain to Laurence that he doesn't want to sit around all day doing crossword puzzles.
Good way to introduce kids to the concept both of being direct, as well as ways to help their friends.a
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Somewhat ridiculous, and yet incredibly entertaining. Marcus (the worm) and Laurence (the bird) are good friends, but their communication breaks down a bit at the beginning, and a series of irritating behaviors combined with outright lies leads them both on a journey through a time machine where they meet their Mole nemesis. Mistakes are made and apologized for, and understanding is ultimately achieved, but not until after a full-scale medieval feast, some time in the stocks, and a daring rescue by the catapaulted slugs.
Reminds me in some ways of [b:Skunk and Badger|49151010|Skunk and Badger (Skunk and Badger, #1)|Amy Timberlake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589318177l/49151010._SX50_.jpg|74604976]. It's another friendship duo that plays on relationship struggles that should be tired and yet somehow are not quite overused yet.
