The Clockwork War Hardcover Book

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 Leopoldƒ??s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within.

But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockworkƒ??the magic of gears and cogsƒ??and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybeƒ??just maybeƒ??something more besides.
