Cover Critic: The House with a Clock in its Walls (Germany, 2000)

Cover Critic is our periodic survey of readers and fans about the various artwork and illustrations of the books in the Bellairs Corpus.

Das Geheimnis der Zauberuhr is the 2000 German translation of The House with a Clock in its Walls.  Anke Siebert created the cover art shown on both this hardcover edition and a papeback edition published the following year.  It's another book cover of this title with - gasp - a house and a clock face.  Granted, what other items would you want to best sell this book to a new reader?
