The Secret Time Machine and the Gherkin Switcheroo by Simone Lia
4.0
Somewhat ridiculous, and yet incredibly entertaining. Marcus (the worm) and Laurence (the bird) are good friends, but their communication breaks down a bit at the beginning, and a series of irritating behaviors combined with outright lies leads them both on a journey through a time machine where they meet their Mole nemesis. Mistakes are made and apologized for, and understanding is ultimately achieved, but not until after a full-scale medieval feast, some time in the stocks, and a daring rescue by the catapaulted slugs.

It's another friendship duo that plays on relationship struggles that should be tired and yet somehow are not quite overused yet.
