Product Description
Product Description
"What if time runs out?" is the question that makes 14-year old Miguel Estes sweat every night. Miguel's certain of three things though: he's here to learn lessons, he lives with a fatal form of the skin-blistering disease E.B., and the clock never stops ticking. In his quest to learn everything from the challenging life he's been given, Miguel discovers who's responsible for time being over. My Watch Doesn't Tell Time is the third in a series of muticultural, fear-eliminating teen novels, which includes Fear Ain't All That and Don't Be Afraid of Heaven.

"My Watch Doesn't Tell Time is an excellent book and by reading it, I learned a few things that made me think a lot. One thing I learned was that friends are like family and they are always there for you in good times and bad times. Something that helped me learn this was that even though some of the main characters friends were in heaven, they still came to help him in his dreams. It was interesting the way the main character, Miguel went to different places and learned something from each place. The way the places were described made me feel like I was in those places with Miguel. Something that surprised me was that Miguel always met lots of people who taught him something that sometimes changed his life. The ending of the story was dramatic but it was well planned out and there were some hints that told you how it was going to end."

Should you eat peanuts?

Format:Paperback
Time.
An exquisite word with so many, many variations of meaning. Said by society's affluent, said by society's impoverished.
But when a fifteen year old boy fixates on it, relishing questions pertaining to it, it becomes the focus of this book.
This young boy has a horrible disease, one he will not live through, and therefore his questioning of God, Time, and Samantha, a dead friend he talks to.
Who is Samantha, in reality? Who is the young boy's Aunt Shirley? For none of these characters seem alive, somehow. Or are my suppositions wrong?
A well-worded story, laden with youth's way of speaking...oh duh!
"The Confederacy of Dunces" came to mind here and there.
Well worth the read!
