McDONOUGH – Two weeks doesn’t seem like much time for someone to invent a machine capable of traveling through time and space, but McDonough author Suzanne Bloom is of the opinion that with enough imagination, anything is possible. Even time travel.

Bloom, the author of 11 children’s books, including “A Mighty Fine Time Machine,” which was published this spring, is challenging area children to design and build their own time machine. She’ll be judging those inventions at Colorscape.

According to Bloom, the rules are fairly simple: have fun, work together and don’t spend money. Anyone can enter, including kids and adults, both as individuals and in teams.

As for the time machine itself, she’ll leave that up to the imagination of the inventors.

“It can be as big as a refrigerator box, or as tiny as a milk carton,” Bloom said, “but it has to look like a marvelous invention that maybe, sorta, kinda could take you to another time and place.”
