Make a wish. . . .
\nLucy Hart knows better than anyone what it's like to grow up without parents who loved he r. 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 wi th bright\, young students\, especially seven-year-old Christopher Lamb\, who was left orphaned after the tragic death of his parents. Lucy would gi ve anything to adopt Christopher\, but even the idea of becoming a family seems like an impossible dream without proper funds and stability.
\nBut be careful what you wish for. . . .
\nJust when Lucy is about t o 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\, an d Lucy is one of the four lucky contestants chosen to compete to win the o ne and only copy.
\nFor Lucy\, the chance of winning the most sought -after \;book in the world means everything to her and Christopher. Bu t first she must contend with ruthless book collectors\, wily opponents\, and the distractingly handsome (and grumpy) Hugo Reese\, the illustrator o f the Clock Island books. Meanwhile\, Jack "the Mastermind" Masterson is p lotting the ultimate twist ending that could change all their lives foreve r.
