![]() ![]() Author: Bellairs John Publisher: De Agostini È una tiepida sera di fine estate quella in cui Lewis Barnavelt, dieci anni e una valigia consumata tra le mani, si ritrova davanti al cancello di una casa misteriosa. La sua nuova casa. Da quando i genitori sono morti in un terribile incidente d'auto, nulla è più stato come prima. Lewis si è lasciato tutto alle spalle e si è trasferito dall'altra parte del Paese. A casa dello zio Jonathan. Non l'ha mai conosciuto, ma quello che ha sentito dire di lui non gli piace per niente. Lo zio Jonathan è sempre stato il più eccentrico della famiglia, un fumatore incallito e un giocatore d'azzardo. E ora dovrà prendersi cura di lui. Ciò che aspetta Lewis però supera ogni immaginazione: una casa che nasconde passaggi segreti, sortilegi e illusioni, e uno zio che si dedica all'occultismo e alla magia insieme alla stravagante vicina. Lewis non riesce a credere ai propri occhi e comincia a cimentarsi con le arti magiche in prima persona. Almeno fino alla notte di Halloween. La notte in cui commette uno spaventoso errore, riportando in vita la crudele e potente strega che abitava nella casa prima dello zio. Serenna Izard. Serenna è tornata per un motivo: portare a termine un vecchio e diabolico piano. Molti anni prima, infatti, la donna aveva costruito insieme al marito un orologio stregato, capace di distruggere l'umanità intera, e lo aveva nascosto nelle mura della casa. Ora toccherà a Lewis trovare l'orologio e, forse, salvare il mondo. Un fantasy dalla grande forza immaginifica, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1973 che è diventato un film con Jack Black e Cate Blanchett. Età di lettu € 10,90
