The Clockmaker’s Secret and the Door to Yesterday

What if a single key could unlock not just a clock… but the past itself? When young Eli Alder discovers a mysterious grandfather clock in the attic of his late grandfather's home, he finds more than dust and memories—he finds a hidden door glowing with golden light, and a brass key that hums with forgotten power. Driven by curiosity and haunted by questions, Eli steps through and tumbles into the past. But time is not a straight line. From reliving pivotal family moments to uncovering secrets buried deep in the past, Eli soon learns that changing even one second can unravel everything. As he searches for answers about his grandfather, the strange organization called the Order of the Forgotten Hour, and a mysterious artifact known as the Anchor of Time, Eli must make impossible choices between what was, what is, and what could be. Perfect for readers ages 10 and up, The Clockmaker's Secret and the Door to Yesterday is a thrilling, time-twisting adventure about memory, courage, and the hidden power of regret. For fans of A Wrinkle in Time, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this heart-pounding tale reminds us that sometimes, the only way forward… is back.
