As always a John Bellairs story is always worth your time. This one is a thoroughly good listen. Not my favorite of his many novels but the narration is amazing.

Story
The abandoned schoolhouse sits just outside the town of Duston Heights, Massachusetts, and Johnny Dixon is not sure what called him there. Inside the darkened building, he finds three chilling stained glass windows which show a hooded monster, a vengeful angel, and the hateful, staring face of Zebulon Windrow. Impossibly, the old man speaks to Johnny, threatening revenge on behalf of one of his descendants—and then the room is filled with horrible insects. As they cover Johnny’s body, moving closer toward his mouth, he awakes and escapes the nightmare.

I really enjoyed the characters and the reading of this book. The reader is truly excellent. Characters are well developed and the story, yet short, is very enjoyable..

Story
It was a warm summer day in 1951 when Rose Pottinger and Mrs. Zimmermann entered the tunnel. When they had emerged, it was snowing...and the year was 1828. Mrs. Zimmermann had felt that the ghost of Granny Wetherbee, who had taught Mrs. Zimmermann witchery, was in trouble and needed help. So she and Rose Rita had traveled to Pennsylvania where Granny had lived. They never dreamed that they would also journey back to a time long ago where they would encounter a sorcerer more terrifying than either could have imagined.

I have read many of John Bellairs novels, but hadn’t come across this one in paperback. A wonderful story, true to the spirit of his earlier works. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Story
Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom - a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials - and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.

Has been my favorite children’s story since I was young
Reviewed: 09-23-23
This story has the right mix of interesting characters and whimsy to make it an amazing book. The narration of the story is well done and even though I have read the book every year for as long as I can remember, having someone read it allows me to pick out new details that I tend to read over. Great overall. Can’t go wrong!

Story is entertaining. Slight twists in the tale. Enjoyed the performance. The story jumps around a bit, but isn’t boring or confusing. Looking forward to listening to the next book
