About this audiobook
What if your town’s clocktower was counting down… and only you could find the key to stop it?
When ten-year-old Vanessa Jane and her Yorkshire terrier puppy, Bruno, hear a strange wrong chime echoing over Wrenhaven, they think it’s just a stormy-night mystery. But one hidden clue leads to another—until Vanessa is racing through secret passages under the library, unlocking forgotten doors beneath Town Hall, and following a trail of riddles left by a long-gone inventor who didn’t trust the “right” people.
With Bruno’s nose, Vanessa teams up with her friends to uncover three impossible keys—each tied to a different time of day—and the truth about a secret group determined to control the clocktower’s power. The deeper they go, the louder the ticking becomes… and the closer the tower comes to its final chime.
