Following an urgent cry for help from the future, she is charged with a crucial mission: stop the evil Derek Maunding from stealing the mine’s secrets. If she fails, it spells disaster for the world. Moving between future and present, Clara and her new friends race against the clock to rescue the mine and safeguard its hidden time portal.

Or, more specifically, by 12-year-old Clara Callenick and how good she is at convincing her grandmother not to sell land that has been in the family for generations. There's only one problem: Gran has already agreed to sell the land to Derek Maunding, a conniving local businessman ... What ensues is a series of hair-raising, edge-of-your-seat events culminating in a delightful story that packs a powerful values punch relevant to both young and not-so-young adults." - Publishers Weekly (Review of the unpublished manuscript, Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award)
