About this deal

The Clockwork Crow is a gripping Christmas tale of families and belonging set in snowy Wales from a master storyteller. Deep below the earth, she walks through a meadow and then a wood and then, “beyond the wood, high on a hill of snow, there rose a palace.

The tall man begs her to watch his parcel, and not to let Them get it…because he has to go see if They are out there…even if he doesn’t come back. Readers are compelled to turn the page for “just one more” chapter as they get lost in the chilling story. Doch als sie endlich in ihrem neuen Zuhause, einem riesigen Haus mit einer Bibliothek, vielen Fluren und Zimmern ankommt, erwartet sie die erste Überraschung: Die Einrichtung ist düster und verstaubt.I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! Set in a gothic mansion in a landscape of frost and snow, this is a spellbinding story full of excitement and magic. I thought the clockwork crow, the family and the general magic throughout the book to be different to what I’ve read before. When she finally arrives at her destination, to find that her godfather, his wife and young son Tomos are absent, and that there's only a skeleton staff of servants to meet her, she assembles the contents of the parcel to stave off boredom and loneliness.

This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). The clockwork crow certainly, is unlike anything I’ve read before and I enjoyed finding out how the crow had come into being and what it would take to free the crow. I thought the clockwork crow’s sarcastic and grumpy attitude perfectly balanced Seren’s emotionally charged character and enjoyed the dialogue shared between the two of them. Hi Jeanne, I promised I would come across from Sue’s blog at Whispering Gums in Australia to say hello and see how you are faring in these difficult times.Denn Captain Arthur Jones und Lady Mair haben sogar noch einen Sohn, Tommo, mit dem Stella ihre Zeit verbringen wollte. Sometimes it’s nice to pick up a children’s book such as The Clockwork Crow, which can be enjoyed by adults too, and just blaze through it, as you don’t want to stop once you start. This is also historical fiction as it's set in the days of trains, horse drawn carriages and candles.

The adventure of The Clockwork Crow begins when a young girl, Seren Rhys, rescues a parcel left in a train station by a mysterious stranger and finds a disassembled clockwork crow with a warning reading “danger!She then breaks their spell and she and Tomos and the crow find themselves lying in the snow in front of Plas-y-Fran and it is Christmas morning. I would recommend this book to third through seventh grade readers, and the audio would be enjoyed by the whole family…from kindergarten through adult.
