A mysterious man shows up to Lucy’s dad’s clock shop just as they were closing with an offer that her dad, Mr. Tinker, can’t pass up — money that will help make Lucy, her brother Oliver and her dad’s lives better. According to the stranger, he can’t move into the house unless the clock is working and the only one that can fix it is Mr. Tinker. Once the clock is fixed, the house will have power to run. Not long after  Lucy and her family arrive, strange things start to happen and small animal figures that look like they belong in the clock wake up and start talking to Lucy.

An exciting interesting twist to the supernatural with talking clock animals, a evil being in the woods, which by the way are slowly making their way to the house each day. Not scary. Recommended for grades 4-7.
