Mrs. Zimmermann hasn't regained her powers from her last encounter with dark magic, and Uncle Jonathan and Lewis have left for the summer to travel, leaving her and Rose Rita bored and lonely at home. That is until Mrs. Zimmermann sees visions and shadows of her old magic teacher, Granny Wetherbee, trying to contact her from beyond the grave. Mrs. Zimmermann and Rose Rita set off to Pennsylvania to solve the mystery and in doing so travel back in time to Granny Wetherbee, who tells them that they must save a good wizard who is destined to die for a wrongdoing he didn't commit.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I was born on October 27, 1947, in New Holland, a mill village about 50 miles north of Atlanta. In 1964, I had the good fortune to become a student in the Georgia Governor's Honors Program, where my love of reading and writing grew deeper.

    My very first professional story, "The Third Grave," was bought by ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE and appeared in that publication in 1966. Then it was over thirty years before I published again.

    But eventually I did begin to write for publication. Alone and in collaboration with my wife Barbara, my late friend Thomas E. Fuller, and fantasy artist and writer Joe DeVito, I have now written some 75 published books. I'm also a professor of English at the University of North Georgia in Gainesville, GA--about six miles from where I was born.

    It's probably no great secret that I am also Ken McKea, writer of the Jim Dallas series of Florida thrillers. McKea is kind of an alter ego who lets me write stories a little different from a standard Strickland tale.

    Barbara and I have two wonderful grown children, Jonathan (married to Rebecca), who is the Jonathan Strickland of FW: THINKING, a weekly Webcast. He is also Senior Writer for howstuffworks.com. Our daughter Amy (married to Tim Sweeney) is the Head Puppeteer for the Puppetry Arts Center in Atlanta.

    The nest isn't empty. Barbara and I also have three cats and two dogs, and that's enough to keep us busy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept my interest till the end.

Similar to ‘A House With a Clock…’ this book also kept my interest. John Bellairs does a nice job foreshadowing too which makes the book all the better. I would recommend, especially if you enjoyed The Letter, the Witch, and the Ring. (I actually thought this was a better book).

I don’t know why this call this the Lewis Barnavelt series when Lewis isn’t even a footnote in this book. This book, once again, is about Lewis’ friend Rose Rita and his uncle Jonathan’s friend Mrs. Zimmermann. Quite frankly, I wish all the books in this series were about Rose Rita and Mrs. Zimmermann. In this case, the pair take off on a trip of sorts and wind up in 1828 in the middle of nowhere, forced to deal with an angry wizard bent on killing anyone who keeps him from his treasure. This book is fraught with excitement and a bit of a mystery thrown in for good measure. A fun read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story!
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014
This is the fourth book in Bellairs' Lewis Barnavelt series and was completed after Bellairs' death by Brad Strickland. Strickland did a good job staying true to Bellairs' characters and put together a very engaging story.

While this is a Lewis Barnavelt story, Lewis and his uncle Jonathon are bit players in this tale.

Rose Rita and Mrs Zimmermann embark on a trek to restore Mrs Zimmermann's lost magical powers. They find themselves transported back in time where they must right a past wrong. Doing so pits them against a local wizard with a grudge and a generations old score to settle.

Good story!

I've been a fan of John Bellairs for many, many years. Bought this book for Edward Gorey's cover. Brad Strickland did a fine job finishing writing the story. Good story. The book was exactly as described. Nicely packed. Quickly shipped.

I found that the story took too long to get to the point. While not a bad read it isn't really snappy either.
