STORY
Lewis, an orphan, comes to stay with his uncle Jonathan. He expects an ordinary person, but Uncle Jonathan, and his neighbour Mrs Zimmermann, are both witches! Lewis couldn't be happier. What's not to like about seeing them practise spells?
At first, watching is enough. Then Lewis experiments himself and unknowingly resurrects the former owner of the house: Selenna Izard. It seems that evil Selenna and her husband built a timepiece into the walls - a clock that could obliterate humankind.
The clock can be heard ticking away in the house all the time, sometimes louder or quieter, sometimes faster or slower. The Barnavelts must find where it is hidden and stop it. A true race against time.
