THE CLOCKWORK DOOR OF BRIARWICK: A Magical Middle-Grade Adventure

By T Humphrey

At 11:47 p.m., every clock stops. Then a door appears where no door has ever been before.
Milo Finch has always been perfectly happy being ordinary. Adventure is dangerous, surprises are best avoided, and mysterious glowing doors should definitely remain closed.
Unfortunately, on the night before his twelfth birthday, Milo discovers an impossible doorway hidden in his grandmother's bookshop-and beyond it lies Briarwick, a secret town tucked between moments of ordinary time.
Here, mechanical birds deliver messages, enormous gears turn among the stars, and a Great Clock keeps Briarwick safely hidden from the outside world.
But someone has stolen its most important gear.
With the town beginning to disappear, Milo joins fearless Pippa, inventive Theo and mysterious Cassian Crow on a race through secret museums, memory-stealing moths and the frozen world of the Hollow Hour.
To save Briarwick, Milo must discover why an ancient dragonfly key chose him-and learn that courage isn't about being fearless.
It's about choosing to keep going when you're afraid.
Packed with mystery, humour, friendship and clockwork magic, The Clockwork Door of Briarwick is a fast-moving fantasy adventure for readers aged 9-12 who love hidden worlds, clever puzzles, unlikely heroes and unforgettable friendships.
