The Warlord's Alarm
By Virginia Walton Pilegard
Illustrated by Nicolas Debon

In The Warlord's Alarm, Chuan and Jing Jing are worried they won't be able to wake the warlord before the sun rises. They are traveling to the emperor's palace, and they can only sleep four hours before resuming their journey in order to arrive as the emperor's gates open. There are no clocks at the inn where they are staying, so they must create their own alarm clock. Displaying the ingenuity shown in the previous six Warlord's Series books, Chuan and Jing Jing turn their water bag into an alarm clock and awaken in time to rouse the warlord.
