The House with a Clock in Its Walls Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

John Bellairs, the name in Gothic mysteries for middle graders, wrote terrifying tales full of adventure, attitude, and alarm. For years, young readers have crept, crawled, and gone bump in the night with the unlikely heroes of these Gothic novels: Lewis Barnavelt, Johnny Dixon, and Anthony Monday. Now, the ten top-selling titles feature an updated cover look. Loyal fans and enticed newcomers will love the series even more with this haunting new look!

Review:

"Is there no end to the suspense John Bellairs can create?" School Library Journal (Starred Review)

Review:

"There's suspense and action aplenty....Perfect for the pre-Stephen King set." Booklist

Synopsis:

This classic is now reissued with a brand-new look. A boy goes to live with his magician uncle in a mansion that has a clock hidden in the walls which is ticking off the minutes until doomsday.
