It's full of hopes, dreams and wishes, as well as riddles and games! Jack Masterson is a well known author for a book series called Clock Island. He lives in a circular island that he has turned into the Clock Island from the books. He loves riddles, games and the adventure of imagination the books can take you on. He has one final book to be released but has turned it into a game to be won. There are 4 contestants he has chosen to participate. One of those contestants is Lucy our main character. She is a school teacher and as a child read and dreamed of being in a happy place like the adventures in clock island. Turns out all 4 contestants had made the journey to clock island as a kid and Jack has invited them back for a chance to win his final book. I loved the games and riddles. It was a such a fun read.
