When
the clocks in town stop, thirteen-year-old CJ discovers an unusual "clock
world" where most of the citizens are clock parts, tasked with keeping the
big clocks running. But soon the seemingly peaceful world is divided between
warring factions with CJ instructed to find the only person who can help: the
elusive Tick Tock Man.
With
the aid of Fuzee, a partly-human girl, he battles gear-headed extremists and
razor-sharp pendulums in order to restore order before this world of chimes,
springs, and clock people dissolves into a massive time warp, taking CJ's quiet
New England town with it.

I
went to the spare bedroom and grabbed the box for Uncle Artie’s clocks. I
replaced them one by one, starting with the crescent moon clock. After the
German village cuckoo clock made its way into the box, I noticed something
extra strange. All Uncle Artie’s clocks were stuck at two o’clock. How come no
one else noticed this? That question troubled me as I put the box of clocks in
its resting place. It was as if those clocks had something to say but couldn’t
say it.
When
I came back down I gave the Hoffhalder another hard look, this time from the
other side of the room. As much as I tried to convince myself this was just a
clock, I knew that wasn’t the case. It spoke to me, although I couldn’t
completely understand it.
Things
were going from strange to downright weird.
