Magical Hourglass (Billie Baloney's Adventures, #8)

What if you could stop time... but at a cost you never imagined?

When Charlie stumbles upon a mysterious hourglass hidden in his grandmother's attic, he discovers it holds incredible power—the ability to freeze time for an hour each day. But as Charlie uses it for mischief, pranks, and even a few daring adventures, he soon learns that this power comes with a chilling price: every second beyond the hour ages him, bringing him closer to an irreversible fate.

Enter Billie and Max, Charlie's best friends and aspiring amateur detectives. Determined to save Charlie and unravel the secrets of the hourglass, the trio embarks on a thrilling journey that leads them to the Timekeeper Council—a hidden society tasked with protecting the balance of time. Along the way, they face dangerous trials, ancient prophecies, and a shadowy rogue Timekeeper with sinister plans of his own.

But what happens when the line between ally and enemy blurs?

Packed with heart-pounding twists, daring adventure, and the unbreakable bond of friendship, "The Hourglass Paradox" will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. But beware: once you pick it up, you won't be able to stop time from slipping away...

Will they save the timeline—or lose themselves to it forever? Dare to find out.
