"Time passes slowly," Chuan complains. Readers may agree, as Pilegard's storytelling feels rather sluggish in this seventh book about Chuan and Jing Jing. Chuan is stumped by warlord Ying-Fa's request for an early morning wake-up call; he solves the problem by fashioning a water clock out of a bowl and a leaky bag. The expansive illustrations beautifully depict ancient China. A related activity is appended.
