The New Policeman by Kate Thompson

It seems like time is flying by in Kinvara, Ireland. Hours suddenly pass by like minutes and no one seems to know why. When J.J. Liddy’s mother asks for “more time” for her birthday, J.J. decides that is exactly the gift that he will get her; he just is not sure how. J.J.’s search for time ends up taking him into Tìr na n’Og, the hidden land of fairies, where time seems to be leaking. As J.J. tries to figure out how to stop the leak, he learns the truth about his family history and the music that he loves.
