EVERY WISH HAS A PRICE.
EVERY SECOND BELONGS TO SOMEONE.
WHAT IF AN OLD CLOCKTOWER COULD GRANT YOUR DEEPEST WISH?
Twelve-year-old Mina Solis has always wished for one simple thing.
More time with her family.
Her mother works long hours, her little brother is growing up too quickly, and the days never seem long enough for everything that matters.
Then something extraordinary happens in the quiet town of Hearthmere.
An abandoned clocktower that hasn’t worked properly in thirty-seven years suddenly begins to chime.
And a mysterious silver paper star appears at Mina’s feet.
Written across its delicate folds is a question:
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH ONE MORE HOUR?
Without realizing it, Mina makes a wish.
And it comes true.
But when a local baker mysteriously loses an hour of his day, Mina discovers something frightening.
The clocktower doesn’t create time. It takes it from someone else.
Together with her friends Theo Park and Zuri Banks, Mina begins investigating the ancient tower and its extraordinary secrets.
Their search uncovers mysterious clockwork, forgotten historical records, and the story of Anika Bell, a brilliant young inventor whose contributions were nearly erased from history.
But the clocktower’s magic is growing stronger.
Wishes are being granted without people understanding their consequences. Precious moments are disappearing. And the mysterious thirteenth hour may hold the key to everything.
As Hearthmere struggles with the clocktower’s unexpected power, Mina and her friends must uncover the truth before more people lose something they can never get back.
Along the way, Mina discovers that happiness cannot be borrowed from another person’s life, kindness requires understanding, and the greatest gifts are not always the ones we wish for.
Sometimes, the most extraordinary thing we can do is appreciate the time we already have.
CAN THREE FRIENDS UNLOCK THE SECRET OF THE THIRTEENTH HOUR BEFORE THEIR TOWN RUNS OUT OF TIME?
The Clocktower of Hidden Wishes is an enchanting children’s fantasy adventure filled with magical discoveries, mysterious secrets, unforgettable friendships, and meaningful lessons about courage, honesty, compassion, responsibility, and the importance of respecting others.
Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love magical mysteries, enchanted objects, hidden inventions, exciting adventures, and heartwarming stories about friendship and hope.
