Vellumgate University has clocks everywhere.
None of them are supposed to ring thirteen times.
When an impossible thirteenth chime sounds across the university, Alyse Merrison discovers that time has begun behaving very badly.
Minutes disappear.
Sounds arrive before the actions that cause them.
Corridors take longer in one direction than the other.
A knock can come before the hand that makes it.
And somewhere inside the growing temporal distortion, pieces of ordinary time are being lost.
With Tilly, Wisp, Twine, and Quibble caught in the same impossible sequence, Alyse must stop thinking of time as something that simply passes - and start figuring out what happens when different people are no longer experiencing the same moment.
Suspenseful, eerie, funny, and packed with temporal twists, Wonder: The Thirteenth Chime turns one impossible sound into a race against a university coming unstuck one minute at a time.
A complete standalone WONDER thriller. No previous reading required.
