Description
The Clockmaker's Apprentice is a whimsical, richly illustrated tale set in a charming animal village nestled among winding roots and ticking gears. The story follows Jasper, a reluctant young mouse apprenticed to the village clockmaker, who discovers that time in the town is mysteriously beginning to stutter and stall. When the Great Clocktower's chimes begin to falter, Jasper is drawn into a quiet conspiracy involving ancient timekeeping magic, forgotten oaths, and peculiar mechanical creatures who may not be what they seem. With the help of his sceptical mentor Mister Tock, Jasper must unravel the mystery of the Clockmaker's past-and decide whether he's brave enough to forge a new future. As secrets tick down and gears grind to a halt, Jasper learns that time isn't just something to measure-it's something to protect.
