choco_froshHey internet!
I have a very clear memory of a children's novel I read once - probably by John Bellairs - in which, for reasons that probably made sense at the time (and were probably magic-related), the characters decide to start some course of action by playing cards until someone draws the Ace Of Stupids.
However, Google isn't giving me anything on this.
Did my brain retcon this?
ETA: Okay, leaving out the specific card in question and limiting our search to "John Bellairs cards" I find that this is almost certainly from The House With A Clock In Its Walls, but I'd still love confirmation.
(I also discovered that THWACIIW was originally written as a novel for adults. I would LOVE to see that manuscript.)
