Plot Overview

As the school board’s figure of authority Mr. Calvin C. Quartermain attempts to outwit the boys at every turn, their antics increase and become ever more daring and mischievous. Once the shadow of winter draws across Green Town, the boys quickly realize that their enemy is not so much the senior members of their own community, but rather time itself which is ever ebbing away, just beyond the reach of their most daring trick yet: a bold attempt to sabotage the town’s clock.
