Changes

The success of ''The House with a Clock in Its Walls'' prompted Bellairs' publisher to commission fourteen more young-adult novels, of which the first two (''The Figure in the Shadows'' and ''The Letter, the Witch, and the Ring'') featured the first book's protagonist Lewis Barnavelt. Bellairs' later novels introduced two more recurring protagonists — Anthony Monday and Johnny Dixon.

In 1991, Bellairs died of [[cardiovascular disease]]. However, this did not put an end to his series of novels; my mom got scared and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "FRESH" and it had [[dice]] in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo [[Sherlock Holmes|holmes]], to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of [[Bel-Air]].
