Synopsis
Make a wish. . . .
Lucy Hart knows better than anyone what it’s like to grow up without
parents who loved her. In a childhood marked by neglect and loneliness,
Lucy found her solace in books, namely the Clock Island series by Jack
Masterson. Now a twenty-six-year-old teacher’s aide, she is able to share
her love of reading with bright, young students, especially seven-year-old
Christopher Lamb, who was left orphaned after the tragic death of his
parents. Lucy would give anything to adopt Christopher, but even the idea
of becoming a family seems like an impossible dream without proper funds
and stability.
But be careful what you wish for. . . .
Just when Lucy is about to give up, Jack Masterson announces he’s finally
written a new book. Even better, he’s holding a contest at his home on the
real Clock Island, and Lucy is one of the four lucky contestants chosen to
compete to win the one and only copy.
For Lucy, the chance of winning the most sought-after book in the
world means everything to her and Christopher. But first she must contend
with ruthless book collectors, wily opponents, and the distractingly
handsome (and grumpy) Hugo Reese, the illustrator of the Clock Island
books. Meanwhile, Jack “the Mastermind” Masterson is plotting the ultimate
twist ending that could change all their lives forever.
. . . You might just get it.
