One of the best books I've ever read. It is a classic and a perfect book for both adults and children. Although it was written in 1958 it has a wonderful plot that kids of today can relate to. There is something about the basic plot the idea of a child being forced to stay home inside during the summer that any person, young or old can relate with.
I remember right after I finished this book I would listen to the grandfather clock at my grandparents house every night. I would hear it chime hoping it would reach 13 and that I would be as lucky as Tom (I was 9 with a very overactive immagination). But I think that is what makes this book so great that it feels so real.
If you have the time for a great read like a classic with British twist then spend a credit on this book it is definately more interesting then its cover.

Loved the story! Different than regular fantasy stories. The end made me want to cry.
Great plot... You need imagination to understand and enjoy the book.
