The Secret Life of Tools: The Magic Begins When No One is Watching - Paperback

by Barry Waldo (Author), Román Díaz (Author)

Psst... these tools have a secret.

What happens when a giant sneeze sends a drawing flying out the classroom window-and it lands beside a magic toolbox?

The tools come to life.

They hammer. They buzz. They bolt. They build.

Working together, the tools race against a ticking clock to build a child's dream before the school bell rings. But with a curious squirrel, a watchful teacher, and close calls around every corner, can they finish in time... and hide before anyone discovers they're alive?
