The Tick-Tock Man

131 pp. | Clarion | June, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-43300-7 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Gadgets and Gears series. Illustrated by James Hamilton. Walter and his faithful dog, Noodles (the narrator), enter London's underbelly to help new friends find the master criminal Tick Tock. Playful spot illustrations and interesting secondary characters (such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) draw readers in, but frequent definitions of terms, while educational, drag the pace of this third installment. Unexpected acts of kindness allow for a warm conclusion.
