Pebby was accustomed to flying down cobblestone streets pulling her wooden red wagon through the assigned routes on a speedy run. She delivered the very best, the very freshest, and very hottest baked goods to waiting patrons in Norwall. She had advanced to the prestigious position of Chief Delivery Dog of the Octagon Bakery. But then, one afternoon, everything changed when she came unexpectedly through the Parallax Contingency with her friend Naji Najeem, and they found themselves at the Adventura Mall in sunny Florida.
Then, there happened a chance meeting with the boy who would change everything. He must have been about fourteen years old, with short dark hair that spiked up in front. There was a casual spring to his step and he hummed to himself, snapping the fingers of his right hand as an imaginary tune played in his head. He broke into the widest smile she had ever seen. He tilted his head, stopped humming, and froze for a moment as they stared at each other, unblinking, as if every clock in the universe suddenly stood still.
Their two worlds collide in this Clockwork Adventure, full of unusual flying machines, Automaton Robots, and travel to another dimension, where everything is not really what it seems to be. One mistake, and they might be separated forever. For Phillip, and for Pebby, their teamwork may just keep his family together, or it may even save an entire nation. Enter the electrifying, sensational Steampunk world of Norwall, and join the Weathermore family, sister Claire and mother Abby, as they "Always Adventure Together!"
