The Dog Snatcher, Book 1 of Guardians of Time

An award-winner! This chapter book was a finalist for the prestigious Selah Award for Christian Fiction and received a Purple Dragonfly Award from Story Monsters Magazine. Eleven-year-old Jake is amazed when a teenage boy kidnaps the family dog and vanishes. Jake and his twin Ava are determined to find their dog, and soon they use an abandoned key to seek help in--of all places--a clock shop. This clock shop travels through time and space, piloted by a 700-year-old Swiss alchemist. But the dog snatcher isn’t easy to catch. He’s a centuries-old alchemist too. A family-friendly chapter book full of surprises, including a trip to France in 1680. --- “This is a fun journey of laughter and learning. The mystery includes a pirate key, an ancient clock shop, forgiveness, truth, new friends and family ties that warm the heart.”—Azalea Dabill, author. “I really think it’s a great book. It’s interesting and definitely engaging.”—E.S., age 10.
