Clock Tower Cover small.jpg

The 1950's was a time of new homes, television, astronauts, new cars, and rock and roll. It was also a time of nuclear threats and deadly polio. Out of this challenging decade comes the enchanting story of a ten-year-old boy from the Midwest showing a small town the meaning of toughness and tenacity.

 

The Shawnee Indian treasure was a myth, they said. Nowhere to be found, except in the legends and tall tales of the region. Despite his polio, despite his poverty, despite his fractured family, Jesse Hall believes the stories and discovers irresistible clues in the courthouse clock tower.

 

With each twist and turn, Jesse learns to overcome all that life can throw at him. He leads his Boy Scout pal, his nineteen-year-old nurse, and the local county historian in a quest for the mythical treasure - a hunt that yields a most unexpected discovery.

Victor Hess reading the first chapter of The Clock Tower Treasure
"The Clock Tower Treasure is not to be missed, and we should all be looking for the gifts found in its impossible-to-put-down pages." 
-David Armand, author of â€‹â€‹Debt, poemsand My Mother's House  
"An amusing piece of literature written marvelously by Victor Hess. It is lovely to see how a boy of such a young age with a great sense of responsibility experiences the world in the 1950s. Including the good, the bad, and the ugly of the era.

Tasteful literature! "
