People eat dinner, shops open, and trains come and go. Kids know when to study, play, and sleep. An old clock tower with iron hands, golden numbers, and a deep bell stands in the middle of town. They think it's just an old building, but the clocktower is much more interesting than they thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne afternoon, all of Willowbend's clocks stop at the exact time of 3:17. People think it's funny at first. Soon, everything starts to make no sense. The classes begin and end at the wrong times. They don't arrive in the right order. Trains leave early and get back late. Party times get mixed up, meals are served at odd times, and no one knows when they should go to bed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwelve-year-old Lena Marlow is the first person to figure out that the clocktower isn't just broken. A sad sigh can be heard inside the tower, and she sees a small blue light close to the clock face. Lena and her friends Milo and Saira climb through the ivy to find a secret door. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey meet Tick, a tiny gear-sprite with wings that look like clock hands and blue eyes. Tick says the bell tower has forgotten how to move time because the people of Willowbend have forgotten how to have fun with it. They keep an eye on the time, but they forget about sunsets, stories, laughing, music, being kind, playing, dreams, and being with each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLena and her friends need to ring ten Memory Bells to save the town. There should be laughter, music, stories, kindness, home, wonder, play, courage, hope, and love in every bell from the town. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lovely story shows kids and teens that time is more than just the hands on a clock. Time is more important when we spend it with loved ones, friends, creativity, kindness, and friendship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE END\u003cbr\u003eHere are five benefits of reading books for kids, teens, and adults: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eImproves imagination and creativity\u003cbr\u003eReading helps the mind create pictures, ideas, and new worlds.
