His novel The House with a Clock in its Walls was adapted into a movie starring Owen Vaccaro as Lewis, Jack Black as Uncle Jonathan. He is best known for his books The Face in the Frost and The House with a Clock in its Walls. The 4 lead characters balance each other out, but you need to read this book first because it establishes the world. John Bellairs was an American author who focused the majority of his work in the Gothic genre. I think the one for the actual film soon to be released is "can you hear the ticking?" I might have gone with "Each tick of the clock brings the world closer to its doom!"Īll the books by this author are very well done, but for this series things really become "perfect" when Rose Rita is introduced in the second book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? A kind but blustery man who wants to make sure Lewis has a safe home. Uncle Johnathan really comes across perfectly. Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite? The many spooky supernatural elements will stay with you.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The House with a Clock in Its Walls?
He's flawed, but tries to do the right thing, even when He's scared, which is rare for the hero of any book, let alone one for young readers. I read this series when I was little & really identified with Lewis, being a less than athletic fat kid myself. What did you love best about The House with a Clock in Its Walls?
