Not the same author. The _Danny Dunn_ books were written by Jay Williams and Raymond Abrashkin, and the “Time Machine” stories were by Donald Keith.

Here is a list of all the stories, and I believe the other book is titled “Mutiny In The Time Machine”.[Donald Keith (author) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Keith_(author))
