Hailey and her best friend, Jared, decide to go down to the antique store to look around and visit Old Mrs. Rhodes, the owner of the store. Mrs. Rhodes gives Hailey a broken old clock. Hailey thinks the clock is beautiful. Mrs. Rhodes explains that there is something special about the clock and she tells the kids a story about it. When Hailey puts it in her bedroom and falls asleep, she finds out just how unusual the clock is!"The Old Clock" is a short story. It is the sixth story in a collection of stories called "The Old Adventures of Hailey and Jared." I really like short stories, especially ones with surprise or twist endings and I really liked this story (especially the ending  ). I think short stories are really great for reluctant readers or readers who just don't like to read for a long amount of time.
