The Specter from the Magician’s Museum

Lewis Barnavelt, Book #7

Grades 3-6; ages 8-12

Based on John Bellairs’ mystery-adventure series, this thrilling story will keep you on the edge of your seat!

John Bellairs, the name in Gothic mysteries for middle graders, wrote terrifying tales full of adventure, attitude, and alarm. For years, young readers have crept, crawled, and gone bump in the night with the unlikely heroes of these Gothic novels: Lewis Barnavelt, Johnny Dixon, and Anthony Monday. And this installment by Brad Strickland is no exception! After Rose Rita Pottinger cuts her finger on an enchanted Egyptian scroll, Lewis must work together with his neighbor Florence and sorcerous uncle Jonathan to rescue Rose Rita from the tomb in which she’s imprisoned.
