'An easy to read adventure that is rich in texture and character.’
Children, parents and teachers are all raving about this new middle-grade, urban fantasy adventure, perfect for ages 9 and up.
1899, London.
The past, present and future of all life is controlled by an ancient device, hidden for centuries. Supernatural forces are unrelenting in their search for it. When homeless twelve-year-old, Jack Picklewick, unwittingly comes into possession of it, he finds himself thrust into the heart of a prophecy that was foretold at the dawn of time.
With the guidance of forgetful horologist, Mr. Moretimer, who claims to be Father Time, a daunting task lies ahead - prevent the device from falling into the hands of raging Mother Nature, who schemes to rewind time and wipe out the disease that is destroying the planet: humanity.
But, whilst Jack and Mr. Moretimer attend to the imminent danger, a much bigger threat looms, as a long-forgotten evil regains strength and prepares to blanket the universe in eternal darkness.
The eleventh hour has begun.
About the Authors:
Destiny: the development of events beyond a person’s control, determined by a supernatural power.
Does such a thing exist?
Many moons ago, two individual paths crossed in a chance meeting. Two minds with the same ambition: to inspire a generation of youngsters at a time when the world was short on inspiration. They believed in the power of stories; the ability to shape imaginations, to influence values and attitudes, and to stretch even the most difficult to reach mind. In a bid to forge unexplored worlds and create unforgettable tales, the two creatives locked themselves away, driven by a desire to be influenced only by their inner voices, nothing else. They wanted to be heard more than they were seen, fully emphasising the power of imagination.
