Watch Hollow | Gregory Funaro
6 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
New York Times bestselling author Gregory Funaro brings us into a world where magic exists, monsters roam in the shadows, and wooden animals come to life. Deep within the enchanted woods in the town of Watch Hollow stands the once-grand Blackford House, whose halls hold a magical secret: a giant cuckoo clock that does much more than tell time. But when the clocks gears cease to turn, an evil presence lurking among the trees begins to come out of the shadows. When Lucy and Oliver Tinker arrive in Watch Hollow, they have no idea that anything is wrong. A mysterious stranger has made their father an offer thats too good for him to refuse. All Mr. Tinker needs to do is fix the clock at Blackford House and fistfuls of gold coins are his to keep. It doesnt take long, however, for the children to realize that there is more to Blackford House than meets the eye. And before they can entirely understand the strange world theyve stumbled into, Lucy and Oliver must join forces with a host of magical clock animals to defeat the Garra vicious monster that not only wants Blackford House for itself, but also seeks to destroy everything the Tinkers hold dear.

This was a fun, creepy MG tale that reminded me a lot of Jonathan Auxier‘s The Night Gardener. A father & his two kids move into a creepy old mansion for the summer, tasked with fixing the old clock that generates power for the house. It‘s isolated, there‘s no electricity, they‘re surrounded by a sinister-looking forest that gradually inches closer and closer to the house…nothing could go wrong here, right?! This was a perfect October read for me.

I recently won a signed copy of Watch Hollow: The Alchemist‘s Shadow! I can‘t wait to read it, but I have to read Watch Hollow first, which I plan to read in December! These sound like such fun, creepy middle grade stories!

Bette They look good. 🙂 4y

This fun mid-grade book was exactly what I needed to read right now. It‘s sort of a mix between Harry Potter and Narnia and even a little Something Wicked This Way Comes. My 12-year-old daughter is already reading it too and really liking it!

Pretty good middle grade novel with nice narration. The creepy old mansion and spooky woods atmosphere was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed the clock mystery mixed with a dash of alchemy. The ending churns up a bunch of new variables which felt kind of forced as a way to leave room for sequels. Still it‘s a fun read for kids who like creepy, but not too scary.
