It doesn't take long, however, for the children to realize that there is more to Blackford House than meets the eye. Tinker needs to do is fix the clock at Blackford House and fistfuls of gold coins are his to keep.
A mysterious stranger has made their father an offer that's too good for him to refuse.
When Lucy and Oliver Tinker arrive in Watch Hollow, they have no idea that anything is wrong. But when the clock's gears cease to turn, an evil presence lurking among the trees begins to come out of the shadows. 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. 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.
