AIMEE BLOOM AND THE CLOCK THAT RAN BACKWARDS
By April Bijou · Signed First Edition
Some clocks count forward. This one had other ideas.
When twelve-year-old Aimee Bloom discovers a peculiar clock hidden in her grandmother’s attic, shaped like a golden birdcage with a whispering brass bird, she unknowingly winds time in reverse and stumbles into Widdershin, a world where logic bends, riddles lead the way, and belief is the only true compass.
Aimee has always felt too curious, too imaginative, just a little out of place in a world that values certainty above all else. But in Widdershin, her sense of wonder becomes her greatest strength. Guided by a jingling hare with clockwork eyes and a fox made of ink and mischief, she must find three enchanted gears to mend the fractured heart of time and face the mysterious Queen of Nothing, whose past is more intertwined with Aimee’s future than either of them knows.
Told in lyrical, storybook prose that sparkles with whimsy and soul, this is a love letter to anyone who has ever felt they did not quite fit, and a reminder that the stories we live are not written in ink. They are lived in belief.
Written and signed by April Bijou, founder of Bonbon Avenue. Each copy is a signed first edition.
Each copy arrives with a Dream Granter bunny — the keeper of secrets, the guide through the gardens, and the heart of the world April Bijou built.
