The Elderwood Kids

The Vanishing Hour

Time is broken. Only they can fix it.

Elderwood Elementary has a new secret: a frozen clock, missing minutes, and a strange, syrupy silence that descends every afternoon at 2:37 PM. For Milo, Tess, and Leo, it’s more than just a weird glitch—it’s a mystery that pulls them back into the hidden magic of their town.

Their investigation leads them to a forgotten attic and a majestic grandfather clock that has stopped ticking, its hands missing. They soon discover the clock isn't broken; it's sleeping. And its dreams are echoes of a single, tragic moment from the past—the day Principal Eleanor Winters vanished without a trace seventy years ago.

To solve the mystery, the trio must decipher a riddle revealed by the rain, seek guidance from a mythical forest guardian, and find a way to play a forgotten lullaby that is the key to it all. But as they get closer to the truth, they realize the Vanishing Hour isn't just stealing time—it's holding a soul prisoner. To set things right, they must wake the clock before the echo fades forever, and time itself is lost.

Dive into the first enchanting adventure of The Elderwood Kids, a spine-tingling series perfect for fans of Stranger Things and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
