A middle grade fantasy about Collin Azle, a young boy whose overly-curious nature gets him into trouble. When he puts on an unknowingly cursed hourglass necklace, he learns that he must find the key to unlock it before midnight or he will die. The key is hidden in one of six "Islands," pockets of other worlds that contain magical creatures and dangers. What's more, the only one who can guide him is the spirit of the last victim of the necklace's curse who is tied to the world, not able to move on. Can Collin and his two best friends, Rose and Will, not only find the key but survive the Islands themselves in the process?
