Overview

Yesenia's Adventures & The Time-Tangled Clock is a magical realism chapter book for kids ages 6-11 that celebrates family, friendship, ADHD, dyslexia, and neurodiverse strengths. When nine-year-old Yesenia and her cousins - Jackson, Josiah, and Gianna - sneak into the town's crooked clock tower in Madison Heights, Michigan, they discover a strange problem: time itself has broken. Hours race by in seconds at school, then crawl endlessly at Nana's dinner table. To fix it, the cousins must combine their very different strengths before the whole town unravels. Yesenia listens closely and sees patterns others miss. Jackson, who has ADHD, brings boundless energy and courage. Josiah adds logic and caution. Gianna softens tense moments with creativity and imagination. Together, they learn that every rhythm matters - quick action, slow reflection, caution, and creativity all have value when facing challenges. Filled with cozy autumn imagery, glowing gears, and family warmth, this diverse early chapter book blends fantasy adventure with themes of inclusion, resilience, and self-acceptance. Perfect for classrooms, libraries, or family reading, it reminds children - especially those with ADHD, dyslexia, or dysgraphia - that their unique ways of thinking are powerful gifts. If you love stories that mix adventure, heart, and imagination, you'll enjoy this enchanting tale that proves listening, leaping, and learning differently can change the world.
