Recognized as premier Christian fiction for kids--named a 2023 finalist for the prestigious Selah Awards from the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. Now with a comprehensive 5-week homeschool study guide.

Eleven-year-old Jake is amazed to find a strange silver key at the end of his suburban driveway.  Then a teenage boy kidnaps the family dog and vanishes. Jake and his twin Ava are determined to find their dog, and soon they use the key to seek help in--of all places--a clock shop.
