Click Cover To Order This is the second children's book I've read from author, Kendal Grey, and it's as much fun as the first!

Click the Cover To Order If you enjoy steampunk fantasies, this book is a fantastic read. If you haven't discovered the genre yet, this would be a spectacular place to start. Set in an alternate Victorian world, time is the most important component of life. Time controls everything, which makes the clock towers vitally important. If one becomes damaged it can stop time and trap the town, making it impossible for anyone to leave... or age. In this world, a clock mechanic i

My imagination was tickled when I began reading about a grumpy Yeti who didn't have any friends, and then found commonality with a brave and similarly weird princess. Together, they enjoy the simple joys of their favorite music played on vin
