Book Description
Jamie's adventure begins with his summer holiday at Aunt Jane's Flamingo Pink cottage and the 'Twist of a Key' in an old wooden Grandfather's Clock. He can't believe he is faced with the 'Challenge of Chime' or the doom that will come if he does not complete all the challenges ahead of him successfully. Jamie delights in meeting his new friends especially the Time-Keeper who explains how he is the 'Chosen Guest' in their Enchanted Land. The evil Time-Taker has quite a different plan and is determined to see Jamie fail his mission. He plots to take the Crown of Cogs from the Time-Keeper and will not tolerate any child getting in his way.
