An eccentric mystery adventure as The Cogsworths discover that everything isn't running like clockwork in their seemingly perfect town. A surreal escapade for fans of The Swifts and Tim Burton films!

Orion, Scorpius, and Lyra Cogsworth are brilliant misfits who live in a ramshackle house on the outskirts of Blissburg. They've never ventured beyond their workshop home, but when their inventor mother vanishes under strange circumstances, these extraordinary siblings are thrust into a storm of untrustworthy characters, unexpected goings-on, and a most unsettling plot to control the town! Being different might just be the thing that can save the day.

The perfect read for fans of The Clockwork Conspiracy or The Swifts.
