The Last Last-Day-of-Summer

Sheed and Otto are cousins with a knack for solving problems.  In fact, they already have three keys to the city, and their home town just keeps getting weirder by the second.  It's the last day of summer, and Sheed wants to spend it sleeping in, but Otto wants to squeeze in one more adventure.

He changes his mind fast when a guy named Flux uses an old camera to freeze time.  Everyone and everything in the town is frozen except for Sheed and Otto and a strange man who calls himself Time Star.

The only other people who can move freely are people they've never noticed before, the clock watchers.  Now that time is frozen, they don't know what to do.  Father time, the Golden Hours, Game Time, The Witching Hour...they are all loose in town!

Can Sheed and Otto wrangle this odd group and figure out how to stop Flux, his army of clock watches, and his monster friend, the time suck, before time is frozen forever?

This new Lamar Giles book is good, but it could have been great.  This feels like the second book in a series rather than a stand alone.  There are references to the cousins' past adventures, and their rivals, but it's all sort of out of context.  I loved the clock watchers and the context.  This just feels a little like three books squeezed into one.
