It’s astonishing the amount of impact a book can have on you. Seeing one well-timed sentence can change your life forever. Of course, you want to have that sort of influence over the lives of your children, but sometimes words don’t hold as much value to them. If you really want to be a part of your child’s life, why not give them a secret to uncover that ends with getting a good book?

The Midnight Clock is a way for you to give them a little journey of their own through a riddle and hidden treasure. Just as you would find in a Tolkien or Lewis book, there is always an adventure lying in wait around the corner. You just have to find it! By solving the riddle and taking apart the face of the clock, you can pull out the mechanism and a book along with it! After its function is discovered, kids can keep their favorite read or treasure inside. Made of either birch or bamboo, this will cost you anywhere from $85-105 depending on the wood you choose, and it can be a way to pass a good read down the family line.
