When the town clock stops at 11:59 and time refuses to move forward, ten-year-old trainee magician Ollie Brewer and his fiercely logical best friend Samantha Salmon are pulled into their strangest adventure yet.
A missing minute should not be able to break a town.
But this one has.
With the ground heaving, a forest slipping out of season, and a winged boy who may be far more important than he realises, Ollie and Samantha must uncover what happened to the lost moment before the whole magical world tears itself apart.
To fix it, they’ll need to outthink druids, fairies, and creatures with very strong opinions, survive collapsing microcosms, and solve a mystery that is far bigger – and far more personal – than either of them expected.
Funny, fast-paced, and full of heart, Ollie and the Mystery of the Missing Minute is a magical adventure about friendship, belonging, and the strange, wonderful moment when childhood begins to change.
