    In this fifth installment of The Clockmaker of Dreams series, Lina, Kevin, and their loyal dog Rex welcome New Year’s Eve the way they always do, waiting for the familiar knock, the golden feather, and the ladder from the moon. But when the feather arrives cold and blue, and the Dreamworld’s magic falls silent, the children discover that something is terribly wrong. Their gentle guide, the Clockmaker, is no longer the bright guardian they know, and dream clocks that once glowed with warmth now hang frozen in the sky. With no map, no lantern, and no promise of safety, Lina and her friends must climb the moon ladder and follow a fading compass into a world of sleeping dreams, where fear spreads like winter and hope feels small. Through mysterious encounters with other children and the quiet courage of friendship, Lina learns that some journeys are not about bravery at all, but about kindness, compassion, and the simple strength of standing together. The Clockmaker of New Year’s Eve Dreams: The Night Lina and the Gang Melted the Ice is a magical, heartfelt adventure that invites young listeners to believe in love over fear, and reminds parents that even the coldest nights can thaw when children share their light.
