An award-winner! This chapter book received a Purple Dragonfly Award from Story Monsters Magazine and also was a finalist for the prestigious Selah Award for Christian Fiction.

Eleven-year-old Jake is amazed when a teenage boy kidnaps the family dog and vanishes. Jake and his twin Ava are determined to find their dog, and soon they use an abandoned key to seek help in—of all places—a clock shop.

This clock shop travels through time and space, piloted by a 700-year-old Swiss alchemist.

But the dog snatcher isn't easy to catch. He's a centuries-old alchemist too. 

A family-friendly chapter book full of surprises, including a trip to France in 1680.
