Bonkers Clocks

At first, the day seems like any other Sunday in a quiet English village... but then something very strange starts to happen.

In each house, the clocks go bonkers, their hands whizzing round like lightning. And in each house, the adults go a little bonkers too! Their extraordinary behaviour is just hilarious at first, but when it becomes more threatening, the children decide they’ll have to do something.
