The Clock That Stopped on New Year's Eve a personalised book with your child as the hero

One stuck clock, one lantern, one minute to midnight

On New Year's Eve the great town clock freezes at 11:59, and the countdown can't begin. Our hero climbs the tower with a lantern and discovers why: Old Year and Baby New Year are stuck among the gears, unable to meet. A squeaky cog, a lost brass key and a kind goodbye later, the bells ring twelve!

Colour palette: midnight blue, warm brass gold and snowy white
