dies, it seems fat is driving them to move to Finkleton. Ever since their Uncle’s
death, however, weather has been acting abnormally weird for Finkleton. The
three siblings, Jack, Robert, and Lizzy, discover that Finkleton has an some
kind of magical control over their weather and their uncle’s hourglasses and
levers inside the store somehow control it. If the trio don’t figure out how to
control the weather, Mr. Lowsley, a mysterious guy who seems to want power, is
going to weasel his way into Finkleton. Can the Finkle children figure out a
way to fix the weather before it’s too late?
The character dialogues feel forced, but the character are
fairly likable and engaging. The plot is a little slow, but the mystery is
engaging. Readers who enjoy fantasy, adventure, mystery, and magic will
enjoying reading this book.
