Watch Hollow

New York Times bestselling author Gregory Funaro brings us into a world where magic exists, monsters roam in the shadows, and wooden animals come to life. Deep within the enchanted woods in the town of Watch Hollow stands the once-grand Blackford House, whose halls hold a magical secret: a giant cuckoo clock that does much more than tell time. But when the clock's gears cease to turn, an evil presence lurking among the trees begins to come out of the shadows.
When Lucy and Oliver Tinker arrive in Watch Hollow, they have no idea that anything is wrong. A mysterious stranger has made their father an offer that's too good for him to refuse. All Mr. Tinker needs to do is fix the clock at Blackford House and fistfuls of gold coins are his to keep. It doesn't take long, however, for the children to realize that there is more to Blackford House than meets the eye.
And before they can entirely understand the strange world they've stumbled into, Lucy and Oliver must join forces with a host of magical clock animals to defeat the Garr-a vicious monster that not only wants Blackford House for itself, but also seeks to destroy everything the Tinkers hold dear. But with a monster in the woods and magic in the walls, can two kids really save the day? A Spooky, Magical House: Blackford House isn't just old-it's alive.
And at its heart is a giant, magical cuckoo clock that powers the entire home. Talking Animal Friends: Lucy and Oliver must team up with a host of charming clock animals who come to life after midnight, each with a secret to share. A Brother-Sister Adventure: Forced to rely on each other, siblings Lucy and Oliver Tinker must find the courage to face the darkness together. A Monster in the Woods: The vicious Garr lurks in the enchanted woods, a monster made of shadows who feeds on fear and will stop at nothing to claim the house for itself.
