It is a place of miracles where every childhood whim may be satisfied. There is a price to be paid, of course, but young Harvey Swick, bored with his life and beguiled by Mr. Hood's wonders, does not stop to consider the consequences. It is only when the house shows its darker face—when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures that dwell in its shadows—that he comes to doubt Mr. Hood's philanthropy. \n\n  But the house and its mysterious architect are not about to release their captive without a battle. Mr. Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for Harvey's soul burns brighter than any he has encountered in ten centuries . . . \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins, 2008","offers":[{"title":"The Thief of Always \/ NEW","offer_id":55119838708004,"sku":"9780061684265NW","price":16.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_1f22c3f8-1204-415c-9a6b-09d6f664873a.jpg?v=1781793814","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780061684265","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
