The House with a Clock in it's Walls by John Bellairs was my favorite book as a kid. It was THE book that interested me in reading. A couple years ago I saw it in a local bookstore and immediately bought it. Sadly, I didn't have the same experience as the OP. Bellairs' book didn't quite live up to my memory from when I was a kid, but I still hold Mr. Bellairs in the highest regards for inspiring me to start reading just for fun. NOBODY could have given me a better gift in life.
