Summary "Ticktock and Jim" by Keith Robertson is a children's novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Jim Meadows, who longs for adventure and excitement while spending a lonely afternoon at home. After trading his cherished grandfather's gold watch for a scruffy mustang named Ticktock, Jim embarks on a journey of friendship and challenges with his new horse, navigating the complexities of family relationships and becoming more responsible as he learns to take care of Ticktock. The opening of the novel introduces Jim as he feels disappointed about being left alone at home while his family goes to town. Frustrated and bored, he soon finds himself in a precarious situation with a bull before discovering a horse trader who presents him with the opportunity to trade his watch for Ticktock. As Jim climbs down from the tree to search for his lost watch, he meets the trader and learns about Ticktock's past. This sets the stage for Jim's evolving relationship with Ticktock, marked by Jim's initial struggles for approval from his family and establishing his newfound role as a responsible owner. This opening portion sets the foundation for a charming tale of growth, adventure, and the bond between a boy and his horse. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
