The Many Lifetimes of Molly Marmalade: The Magical Clock

By Michael William Ham

In Michael W. Ham's "The Many Lifetimes of Molly Marmalade: The Magical Clock," Molly Marmalade isn't your ordinary house cat. She's lived many, many lifetimes-Parisian bakeries, Lisbon alleyways, Delphi's ruins-each one ending with the same eerie chime. But when Thomas, a sticky-fingered boy with a knack for trouble, feeds her marmalade on the sofa one too many times, the grandmother clock in the foyer strikes *thirteen*.

Suddenly, Molly's past isn't just memories-it's unraveling. The clock's pendulum swings too wide, the air hums with burnt sugar, and Mr. Puddles, the neighbor's tabby, starts hissing about stolen silver. Then the riders come: cloaked figures on horses the color of tarnished spoons, their stirrups chiming with the same unnatural rhythm as the clock.

Now Molly, Thomas, and his harried mother Lois are tumbling through time, chased by a void-cat who purrs in centuries and a curse that sticks like marmalade on fur. To survive, they'll need to outwit Circe's ancient spell, return what was stolen, and-most importantly-stop Thomas from feeding Molly marmalade on the sofa. *Ever again.* Because the thirteenth chime isn't just a warning. It's a countdown.

This second book in the Molly Marmalade series, "The Magical Clock", is a whirlwind of stolen time, citrus-stained magic, and the perilous cost of second chances. Perfect for fans of *The Ten Thousand Doors of January* and *The House in the Cerulean Sea*, this tale weaves history, humor, and heart into a spell you'll taste long after the last page.
