Publisher's Summary

Christopher has great dreams of becoming an inventor, but he dislikes anything requiring work. When he discovers that his neighbor Dr. Finkle has invented a time remote, Christopher uses it to avoid schoolwork, wholesome food, and jobs he doesn't like. The time remote sends him quickly through a life of avoiding problems, right into old age. 

Christopher finally realizes the misery of an easy life. Discovering a hidden button on his discarded remote, he fortunately gets a chance to start his life over. 

In this fascinating and inspiring story, Carl Sommer teaches the value of diligence, self-discipline, and responsibility. 

Grades one to four. Virtues: diligence/self-discipline/responsibility. Other virtues: appreciation, caring, cheerfulness, cleanliness, courage, diligence, initiative, obedience to parents, perseverance, positive mental attitude, responsibility for others, self-respect, temperance, trust, and wellness.
