About this book

Apprentice clock-maker Karl must craft a new figure for the great clock in town - but he is exceedingly short on inspiration. When a mysterious little clockwork character appears from nowhere, Karl seems to have found the answer to his prayers.

In fact he is in for a terrible shock. An intriguing and magical fantasy that will captivate readers.
