The Clockwork Three

By: Matthew Kirby

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

An enchanted green violin, an automaton that comes to life, and a hidden treasure. . . . THE CLOCKWORK THREE is a richly woven adventure story that is sure to become a classic!

Three ordinary children are brought together by extraordinary events. . . Giuseppe is an orphaned street musician from Italy, who was sold by his uncle to work as a slave for an evil padrone in the U.S. But when a mysterious green violin enters his life he begins to imagine a life of freedom.

Hannah is a soft-hearted, strong-willed girl from the tenements, who supports her family as a hotel maid when tragedy strikes and her father can no longer work. She learns about a hidden treasure, which she knows will save her family -- if she can find it.

This Book is Amazing

I've been wanting to read this book for so long and I even bought the hardcover. But I never had time to read it because my commute to work every morning is about an hour. Having the audiobook made reading this book a whole new experience. Especially with the narrator making the different voices. Overall I love this book and audiobook.

A very fond memory

I first read this amazing book when I was in middle school. It's impact was so deep and meaningful to me that I never ever forgot the story... but did forget the title. I searched high and low for the book and finally found it. Still as amazing and awe inspiring as the first time I read it!

Artful

This would be a good book to teach about literature to a middle school level. Nice Plot and wholesome story overall.
