Chancey Balogh makes all the best monsters for horror and science-fiction films and he is the man twelve-year-old Matt admires most in all the world. Because he is good with his hands, Chancey allows Matt into his studios as a kind of sorcerer's apprentice, where he works happily on some reptilian monsters called Slurks. Gradually Matt becomes obsessed by them not their mechanics, which he knows very well, but by their very nature. Are they real?

At first, the day seems like any other Sunday in a quiet English village... but then something very strange starts to happen. In each house, the clocks go bonkers, their hands whizzing round like lightning. And in each house, the adults go a little bonkers too! Their extraordinary behaviour is just hilarious at first, but when it becomes more threatening, the children decide they’ll have to do something.
