Synopsis

Come meet the Robinsons: Young Wilbur has a robot. Uncle Art has his own flying saucer. Cousin Laszlo has an antigravity device. The butler is an octopus. It's snowing in the east wing. And somebody left the Time Machine on, so . . . Well, perhaps you'd care to read what happens next. From William Joyce, creator of the Emmy-winning Rolie Polie Olie as well as author and illustrator of a stack of whimsy-based entertainments for children and like-minded adults.

He lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. Talk to William Joyce and see upcoming work on Instagram.

The Robinsons are all super cool - Uncle Orbley has an anti-gravity machine, Grandpa conducts a frog swing ba......more
