The Clockwork Three

(3) 4-6 A magical violin helps young street musician Giuseppe dream of escaping exploitation; a bronze talking head from antiquity helps apprentice clockmaker Frederick complete his automaton masterwork; and a hidden treasure map allows hotel maid Hannah to imagine relief for her troubled family. Their stories intersect in this against-the-odds tale of complex moral choices, with fantastical elements surfacing throughout.
