Description
Seventeen-year-old Charlie Reed lives a life that has never been easy. A talented athlete in football and baseball, he hopes his skills will earn him a college education, but he carries a burden heavier than his years. He has had to shoulder the responsibility of his drug-addicted father since his mother’s tragic death.
His life changes completely when he hears cries for help coming from an abandoned house on the hill. Charlie discovers that the elderly homeowner, Mr. Bowditch, has fallen and broken his leg. He helps him, and they become inseparable. After the old man’s death, he leaves Charlie everything he owns… but the inheritance isn’t just money and property; it’s a secret beyond imagination. In the backyard lies a mysterious warehouse from which strange noises emanate. Inside, a single key leads to another world… a deserted yet vibrant city, with empty streets, gray-skinned inhabitants, giant animals and insects, and beneath its cloudy skies, two mysterious moons. There…
At the heart of this wondrous world lies a magical sundial guarded by a giantess named Hannah, capable of restoring youth or accelerating aging for whoever sits upon it. But why is this town shrouded in gloom? What is its connection to Mr. Bowditch and his home? And how will Charlie cope with this secret that will change his life forever?
