Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren’t able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until June 30th, 2022. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available! Today’s story is shared with permission of Simon and Schuster Publishing Company.  What was written in the little notebook Nancy found hidden in the old Crowley clock? If she hadn’t been reading very carefully, she may have missed the brief comment about where to find the real will. Josiah Crowley certainly made it difficult for the Tophams to find and destroy his second will. That is good, but it almost made it impossible for the real will to come to light. What a surprise it was for everyone when the will was read out loud! Here is the thrilling finale of The Secret of the Old Clock. Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
