What if your child could rewind time but every rewind brought a curse closer?
When 11-year-old Ollie discovers a mysterious pocket watch hidden in his grandfather's attic, he thinks he's struck gold. The watch lets him rewind time exactly 10 minutes. Enough to fix a mistake, ace a test, or dodge a bully. But magic always comes with a price...
Each time Ollie turns back the clock, something strange follows him. Shadows grow darker. The ticking gets louder. And a forgotten figure the cursed clockmaker begins to wake from the other side of time.
Now Ollie has to race against time itself to break the curse... before the clockmaker breaks through.
Packed with suspense, heart, and just the right amount of spooky, this thrilling middle grade adventure will keep kids turning pages and parents glad they picked it.
Perfect for ages 9-12, fans of time travel, magic, and fast-paced reads like Artemis Fowl and The Last Kids on Earth.
