Book Reviews of The Curse of the Blue Figurine (Johnny Dixon)

Book Review: Still with me after all these years
Summary: 5 Stars

This was the first of many John Bellairs books I read over twenty years ago. Recently I dug out my tattered and dog-eared copy and gave it another spin. I was pleased to discover it's still a wonderful read. Though his writing style doesn't quite move me as much as it once did, his story telling and characters have stood the test of time. The sheer fact that even now, in my 30's this book can still warm my heart and chill my spine is a testiment to Bellairs' craftsmanship. Thinking back on the effect he had on me all those years ago I can always remember being scared, but pleasantly so. Scared enough that you want to turn the page, but aren't afraid to turn the lights off. I've bought copies of this book, and others of Bellairs' for my young nephews, and would highly recommend them for any readers around the age of ten or so, you may have in your life. There's a pretty good chance that twenty years from now, they'll still cherish them.

Summary of The Curse of the Blue Figurine (Johnny Dixon)

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. Now, the ten top-selling titles feature an updated cover look. Loyal fans and enticed newcomers will love the series even more with this haunting new look!
