O ovoj e-knjizi
To fight a menacing evil, a group of children team up with amazing mechanical machines built by a genius clockmaker in this illustrated children’s fantasy.
Best friends Karlheinz Indergarten and Leopold Croak clash in an epic, imaginary battle waged in the branches of an enormous, ancient oak tree. But when lightning strikes young Leopold, he loses his imagination, and with it, his sense of right and wrong. The damaged boy grows to adulthood, treading a sinister path of industrial conquest. And Leopold’s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within.
But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockwork—the magic of gears and cogs—and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybe—just maybe—something more besides.
Perfect for reading aloud!

O autoru
Adam Kline has written for Focus Features, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Brothers, Walt Disney Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox. With Kung Fu Panda director Mark Osborne, Kline is currently adapting several books for film, among them The Clockwork War, Escape from Hat, and Jeff Smith’s graphic novel Bone. An active member of the Writers Guild, Kline attended Kenyon College. He has two children. Dan Whisker—a self-taught illustrator—was previously a member of the British armed forces for several years and then a serving Detective Constable with Kent Police. Dan has now sought a new career in something that he has always dreamed of doing and that is creating art for children’s fiction and non-fiction. Originally born in Essex in 1972, Dan moved to Kent as a child and finally settled in the green and tranquil village of Chartham—a stone’s throw from Canterbury where he lives with his loving wife of twenty years. He has three teenage children and three small dogs.
