I've heard this book called a modern children's classic and I can understand why! The mixture of supernatural scares with childhood anxieties makes the book both exciting and relatable. The story is paced well and contains just the right amount of main characters to be easily kept track of without feeling sparse.

One of my favorite childhood books! I read The House With a Clock in Its Walls every year around spooky season, and every year it delights me no end.
