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 tiny 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 sharp nose (and fearless attitude), 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.
Packed with action, puzzles, mini-mysteries in every chapter, and a main mystery that tightens like a winding spring, Vanessa Jane and the Clocktower Key is a page-turning adventure for readers who love brave kids, clever clues, and secrets hiding in plain sight.
