About the title
The first thing Lewis heard as he crossed the threshold of his uncle's mysterious mansion was the ticking of a clock coming from within the ancient walls. He is plunged into a world of magic and sorcery he never suspected existed. Here, paintings come to life, incredible creatures dwell, and the heart of the house guards a secret of time... "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" is based on the first book in John Bellairs's series and makes for perfect family viewing. Neither kids nor parents will be bored.
