is there any way to find out the title and author of a book?

Question

It was about ten years ago that i read book in school, and i would like to read it again, the only problem is that i do not remember nor the title nor the author of the book.  please if there is a way of figuring this out, i would be greatly appreciated

the book is about a little boy who goes into some other kind of dimension, and every season exists in one day.  like in the morning it would be christmas........and at night they would celebrate halloween.  when the little boy escapes from this other world, he finds out that he has not been missing for 30 days, but he has been missing for 30 years.  his parents are old and fragile, but he remains a little boy.

I think it may be Clive Barker's book "The Thief of Always."

From Publishers Weekly
In a tale that manages to be both cute and horrifying, bestselling novelist and screenwriter Barker ( Imajica ) puts the dark side back into childhood fantasy, recalling the violent undercurrents of the Grimm Brothers' tales and other classics. When archetypal 10-year-old Harvey Swick desperately wishes to be delivered from a boring February afternoon, he is miraculously rescued by Rictus, a smiling (if somewhat sinister) creature. Rictus takes Harvey to the Holiday House, where every morning is spring, every afternoon is summer and every evening offers Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in quick succession. Barker masterfully embroiders this fantasy world with a mounting number of grim, even gruesome details. Harvey must heroically battle what is gradually revealed to be the malevolent force behind the Holiday House in order to save not only himself but all its previous young guests. Barker's own illustrations convey the story's deceptively sweet appeal. A welcome modern-day return to a classic form, this fable lives up to the publisher's billing as a tale for all ages. 100,000 first printing; $140,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild, Doubleday and Sci-Fi Book Club alternates; author tour.
