A stopwatch has sixty thin black lines, each marking off the seconds in a minute. But on Tom’s stopwatch, they are also gateways to sixty different worlds ...

Tom’s back from his mission to the Land of Mirthful, but not for long. Grandpa’s discovered an egg – a very special egg. Using the magical stopwatch, Tom must return the egg to the Land of Dragonay – before a baby dragon hatches! But Tom soon finds Dragonay’s in serious trouble. The dragons have all disappeared and without a king, the land is doomed. Could the egg be the key to saving the land? If only Tom can protect it!
