New York Times bestselling author Gregory Funaro brings us into a
world where magic exists, monsters roam in the shadows, and wooden
animals come to life.
Deep within the enchanted woods in the town of Watch Hollow stands the
once-grand Blackford House, whose halls hold a magical secret: a giant
cuckoo clock that does much more than tell time. But when the clock's
gears cease to turn, an evil presence lurking among the trees begins to
come out of the shadows.
When Lucy and Oliver Tinker arrive in Watch Hollow, they have no idea
that anything is wrong. A mysterious stranger has made their father an
offer that's too good for him to refuse. All Mr. Tinker needs to do is
fix the clock at Blackford House and fistfuls of gold coins are his to
keep.
It doesn't take long, however, for the children to realize that there is
more to Blackford House than meets the eye. And before they can entirely
understand the strange world they've stumbled into, Lucy and Oliver must
join forces with a host of magical clock animals to defeat the Garr--a
vicious monster that not only wants Blackford House for itself, but also
seeks to destroy everything the Tinkers hold dear.
