When Time begins unraveling in near-future England, eleven-year-old orphan Silver travels through surreal landscapes of past and present on a quest for an ancient Egyptian clock that can restore order. In a lyrical, unabashedly intelligent blend of fantasy, physics, and theology, Silver overcomes the limitations of a commercialized world to earn the friendships and victories that save her life and country.
