    About this ebook

    Her name is Sugar. Sugar Sweet. But never EVER call her "Sweetie."

    When Sugar's Uncle Max falls ill and his collaborators disappear, she investigates the old Victorian mansion where he conducted his research. She soon finds the collaborators -- or what's left of them -- along with an angry Neanderthal. She also finds her uncle's research project, a working time machine. Sugar must act quickly to unlock the secret of time travel so she can set things right and protect her uncle's research.

    Sugar Time collects Joy V. Smith's Sugar Sweet stories into one volume.
