Clockwork is a fantastic story for kids who like something a bit different. What starts as your typical, traditional tale soon becomes a mysterious and gripping story of dark strangers, greed, sinister clockwork figures and death. This is a fairly easy read for Upper KS2, and for kids who like a bit of gothic horror in the style of Frankenstein.
