I read the first few chapters, L finished on her own.

Tom Edison - not THAT Thomas Edison - has always dreamed of becoming a scientist, but he's terrible at science. However, he gets a job as a janitor at CEASE (where the janitors keep disappearing into black holes), and teams up with underling scientist Marisa Morice, who has invented a new kind of solar panel. However, her "ta-da!" moment is overshadowed by a colleague who has invented a time machine. Tom and Marisa travel back in time and - as the title indicates - get stuck there.

Great fun, and with a section in the back for aspiring storytellers.½
