The Missing Clock Mai Nasara

"I?m 9 ? and heir to a fortune. This is the story of how I made my parents rich?very rich." He was 4?a bright and boisterous boy?when he arrived at an original idea. Now 9, he sets out to write the story?with the help of his parents and a kind and clever 14 year-old orphan girl?a full half decade later. It all began when he decided he wanted many more of something he liked to share. When he overheard adults talk on how to multiply things, He dug into action?well ahead of everybody! When hard times came calling on the Tobe [pronounced 'to bay'] family, their son appeared to have buried?with his dream? their only hope for the rainy day. Meet, here, the unlikely hero?Banji?at his bragging best: "I promise: When you come to the end of the tale, you will say, 'What a timely story!'" Happily for all, Banji?s folly at four and the fortunate future that followed for his family are two very different things.
