SuitabookThe Clock Without a Face
Scott Teplin, Mac Barnett, Eli Horowitz
- Reading
- Read together at a comfortable pace, leaving time to inspect each illustration and let the child explain a theory before moving on. Treat the buried-number hunt as an optional puzzle to explore together.
- Themes
- Investigating the tower robberies: After 13 robberies, the numbers have been taken from the Emerald Khroniker; readers are invited to seek clues in illustrations and solve riddles. The crime functions as the puzzle that readers investigate; the book invites active clue-finding rather than presenting theft as a recommended action.
- Worth knowing
- The central crime is a series of robberies and theft of valuable clock numbers; the story presents these as the mystery to solve.
