Start of the book
Milo first heard the ticking while walking home from school.
It came from behind the old stone wall at the edge of Briar Lane, where nobody in town ever went.
At first, he thought it was a broken watch. Then he noticed the apples hanging over the wall. Each one clicked softly in the evening air.
