This is another slow chapter it could have been shorter, just a lot of world building. So the culprit of the clock breaking is not the Tooth Fairy like they thought at first but a dragon Scorch the entire time. It was shown in the mirror they have as Sally placed the clock that Father Time had given her when it was placed on the mirror it went through and showed everything going backwards that's who they saw.

Just like that, we are now in Tooth Town with a possible character culprit that could be the reason they are in this mess to fix Halloween Town the Tooth Fairy could be behind this the question is why did this happen. Why did she steal different objects from different towns.

Getting back to it. Sally, Luna and Scorch see that after they have come to finally fix the clock they thought would fix the time jump they see it didn't fix anything what happened was they saw what Halloween Town looks like now it was destroyed and all the residents had to move to other places other towns Sally is now worried. What they are seeing is that they have literally jumped 50 years gone for that long.

Lots of world building in this chapter. Nothing much happens but Sally losing her hands for awhile as a sacrifice but getting them back Sally and Luna using a dragon named Scorch to fly to Time Town to do what they need to do.

Sally is beginning to get back on track to fixing what has been done. She gets ahold of someone from Hero Haven Lady Serephina from Glass castle who shows her a few of her possible futures also Luna and Scorch get a glimpse of their possible futures. It's not until Sally is ready to fix things. She misses Jack and she wouldn't be the Pumpkin Queen if she didn't fix things for her town. A sacrifice she needs to make.

It begins with a dragon and a trip into another town called Fable Town. In this place, the dragon isn't a villain, as heard of in many other stories where a dragon is slayed, but here the dragon is nice his name is Scorch. In one part of this town is a village called Villian Village, where Sally is amazed and intrigued as it feels like a little Halloween Town and the people there know of Halloween Town.

Sally is now eager to move things forward after what just happened she and Luna are in Halloween Town before it ever really grew to be a community. The time clock for Halloween Town has fallen to the floor, but it wasn't her she witnessed it falling. She has to fix this she goes to one of the only people she knows at the moment but Ruby has no idea until Sally has an idea something she thought of when she was young.

Now it's getting really interesting. The event of the last chapter may have turned their experiment of a spell on its head. I think the time piece that fell on the floor turned their destination around, not only getting them to where they wanted to go but back in time when Halloween Town wasn't quite established yet. They were there but not there. The holiday doors were not even really made yet. What happened?

Finally this book is picking up again. Sally is really pushing to get back to Halloween Town getting the ingredients to make the portal thing happen again. She has a potion she wanted to try ever since she lived with Dr. Finklestein but never got the chance. She finds a fountain in Time Town to mix the ingredients and is ready to go back with Luna. It's time they got back Jack and everyone are worried now she sees.

This is one of the slowest chapters so far lots of world building into time town and not knowing what happened as Luna mixed the ingredients that sort of made a portal into Time Town though its been known to be a thing that has happened in the past. It's time they figure out who is waiting for them.
