This exciting story The Theif of Always is written by Clive Barker. This book is about Harvey Swick a 10-year-old boy who is bored of school. One day he meets a guy named Rictus who tells him about a magical kid's paradise. A mysterious man named Mr. Hood built the Holiday House. Then, after awhile Harvey finds out that the house is a trap and that he can't leave to see his family. I love this book because it's really mysterious and very fun to read. It has great detail and you can really understand the story. This book also has alot of cool pictures. I think anyone would love this book!
