This is the story of Lewis, a 10-year-

old boy who is orphaned and moves to

his uncle's house, which has a
mysterious clock. His quiet village life
will take a complete turn and he will
find himself involved in a world of
wizards and witches, a totally different
universe.
THE HOUSE WITH THE CLOCK IN
THE WALL tells the story of Lewis
(Owen Vaccaro), a 10-year-old boy
who goes to live with his uncle
Jonathan (Jack Black) in an old
mansion that hides a mysterious
ticking inside. But the quiet life of his
new city hides a secret world of
wizards and witches in which Lewis
will accidentally wake the dead.
Newly orphaned 10-year-old Lewis,
sent to stay with his uncle Jonathan
(Black), has discovered a hidden world
of magic, mystery and supernatural
dangers... all in his sleepy little town.
When Lewis moves in with his Uncle
Jonathan, he discovers that the curious
mansion he now calls home is full of
secrets, the biggest of which is an
incessant ticking that comes from
somewhere in the house...

He's not sure what's more amazing: the

wonderful, enormous house... or his
eccentric uncle Jonathan and his best
friend and neighbor, with whom he
spends the day exchanging barbs, Mrs.
Zimmerman (Blanchett).

As if adjusting to a new school with

new friends wasn't enough in this
unexpected suburban life, Lewis's
world is turned upside down when he
discovers that his Uncle Jonathan and
Mrs. Zimmerman are both powerful
practitioners of the magical arts.

Lewis unintentionally finds himself in

a totally crazy situation with a wizard
and a witch, who are on a secret
mission to discover the origin and
meaning of an apocalyptic clock that
keeps ticking ominously... hidden.
somewhere within the walls of the
house.

And add to all that deadly curses,

aggressive jack-o'-lanterns, endless
hours of homework, and an evil wizard
who has returned from the grave?
Lewis's new life is more than enough
to keep any clever and resourceful 10-
year-old boy more than busy.

As a lost orphan transforms into one of

the most powerful young wizards in
the world, he will not only have the
adventure of a lifetime... but he will
help put two shattered people back
together and allow them to rediscover
their magic.

Lewis is a 10-year-old boy who, after

being orphaned, moves to his uncle's
creaky old house, which has a
mysterious clock. Soon, the boring and
quiet life of his new town is
interrupted when Lewis accidentally
awakens wizards and witches from a
secret world.
