Outstanding! Our family loves this series.

Outstanding! Our family loves this series. Each book is better than the one before. We love this author!

Lewis and Rosarita try to save the world... again

Lewis Barnavelt and Rosarita Pottinger are pretty much on their own after accidentally releasing a ghost with apocalyptic plans. It's the entire town working against them this time and with Jonathan and Mrs Zimmerman out of town, the kids are up against it.

This is a fun and fast read/listen. The series gets better with each volume. That said, this is the final volume that had input from the late John Bellairs. How much that will impact the series going forward remains to be seen. But for now, get this book and enjoy.

Well written & Great reading

the writer is very good at telling a story. the narrator is one of the very best. the magic theme is not for me but the characters in this are outstanding and it is well written

Good story and even better storytelling

Wonderful distraction from everyday life; no messages or positions. Just listen, relax, and enjoy the storytelling.

Adventure for the Young and the young-at-heart

This book unlike the others has Louis and his friend Rosarita facing adventures all on their own while Uncle Johnathan and his purple loving neighbor are out of town.
