Ten year old Hamish Ellerby has started to notice something unusual happening in his boring home town. Every once in a while, everything just ...stops.
The birds in the air. The cars on the road. The people outside. The people inside. The clock on the wall. They all. Just. Stop. Everything except Hamish, that is. Hours pass. Or maybe minutes. It's impossible to tell.
Time passes V E R Y slowly when literally nothing is happening! And then, like a switch has been flipped, everything starts up again, just like that. But why is it happening? And who are the horribly hideous creatures that Hamish keeps seeing around town?
