Book excerpt: Charlie's plans for a perfect vacation are dashed when his mother announces they'll be visiting her distant relatives instead. Traveling to England might be exciting, but there's nothing fun about a summer spent with quilt-crazy Auntie Phranzie and reclusive Uncle Ralph. Exploring his relatives' bizarre, clock-filled home, Charlie discovers a leather book hidden in the attic. Inside is a handwritten message warning the reader to proceed with the utmost caution. Charlie isn't very cautious, which explains why he chooses to sneak into Uncle Ralph's forbidden room, where a series of events transports him to the clock book's world. In that world, Wenzel Bennington's life is unraveling. The Hill, his once-peaceful home, is under attack from the malevolent Malek. Left unchecked, Malek threatens to destroy everything Wenzel loves. Charlie and Wenzel find themselves instrumental players in the war against Malek. Joined by a mysterious girl marked by magic and aided by the mystical Presence, they will bring peace to the Hill-or live just long enough to see Malek triumph. Reminiscent of a modern-day Chronicles of Narnia, The Boy and the Clock Book marks the beginning of Charlie's adventures in a world where destiny and magic intertwine with strength of character.
