The House With a Clock in Its Walls

The House With a Clock in Its Walls 

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.

Can Lewis and his Uncle Jonathan turn back the hands of time--and save the world from being destroyed? 

When orphaned Lewis Barnavelt first comes to live with his Uncle Jonathan, he suspects nothing.  Then he finds out the amazing truth--his uncle and his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Zimmermann, are both witches!  But simply watching Jonathan's magic isn't enough for Lewis.  When he makes the mistake of emulating his uncle, Lewis unknowingly resurrects the evil Selenna Izard.  Years ago, she and her long-dead husband hid a horrifying secret in their house. Now the Barnavelts live there--but they've got to conquer the forces of evil in order to stay alive.
