A time-traveling school year turns into a race against a broken clock

Ace Adler’s time-travel ability begins as a handy way to revisit school projects and birthday mishaps, then takes on a much larger purpose when an inventor from the 1600s brings news of a damaged clock that governs time. The clues to repairing it draw Ace, his best friend Alexis, and possibly his distracted dad into an adventure with the stakes of time itself. The premise connects familiar school-year concerns and family plans with a fantastical problem that reaches across centuries.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in action-and-adventure fiction
  • Readers who enjoy time travel, mysteries, and clock-related dilemmas
  • Children looking for an adventure involving friendship and family

Book overview

Twelve-year-old Ace Adler is counting down the minutes until the end of the school year. It's just a little shocking when he counts them more than once. Ace learns that being a time traveler is useful when it comes to redoing class projects and stopping birthday cakes from getting destroyed. But it's way less fun when an inventor from the 1600's shows up to tell him that the giant pendulum clock which controls all time is broken.

 

And Ace is the only one who can fix it.

 

With the help of his best friend Alexis-and maybe his dad, if he can stop talking about the dreaded upcoming camping trip-Ace unravels clues to fix the clock and prevent time from stopping forever.
