‘The House With A Clock In Its Walls’ More Or Less Faithfully Adapts John Bellairs’ Classic Children’s Thriller

September 21, 2018 by James Jay Edwards

Earlier this year, the big-screen adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved children’s novel A Wrinkle in Time disappointed both critics and fans. The film was lackluster enough to cast doubts upon the next highly anticipated children’s book adaptation, John Bellairs’ The House with a Clock in Its Walls. Well, we can all rest easy. The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a much better movie.
