What is The Magic Hour about?

Eleven-year-old Ailsa Craig is perpetually late—to her own birth, school, and even her house exploding! One day, she uncovers a secret: a hidden twenty-fifth hour in the day, accessible at twilight in a parallel Edinburgh. Initially, this 'Magic Hour' seems like a dream come true, improving her grades and social life. However, Ailsa soon realises that tampering with time has dire consequences. She must confront sinister forces to save herself, her family, and the world.
