Read this one around 6th grade, and read it twice in a row. It is a great, fanciful tale about growing up. This was the first Clive Barker I read and I have continued, more than ten years later, to be impressed with his imagination and vision.
And the house itself, in this story, is featured prominently almost as a character unto itself.
