The Figure In the Shadows
The Figure In the Shadows | John Bellairs
3 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
A classic fantasy/mystery from critically acclaimed novelist John Bellairs Lewis thought the amulet would bring him good luck--instead, it brought nothing but evil. Lewis is sure that Grandpa Barnavelt's 1859 lucky coin is really a magic talisman in disguise. With its power, he could do anything he wante--like get back at bully Woody Mingo. But as soon as he begins wearing the coin around his neck, strange things start to happen. Mysterious letters arrive in the dead of night. A strange, shadowy figure seems to be tracking him. And when Lewis finally gets his revenge on Woody, he feels as if someone else is inside his body, urging him to go even further. Has Lewis awakened a force beyond his control?

Pretty dark for its audience. I appreciated how the author does not sugarcoat how cruel kids can be to each other. I loved the new sidekick Rose Rita, Lewis' best friend. She's smart, tough, and just a great portrayal of a young girl. She and Lewis care deeply for each other....AS FRIENDS! How refreshing! Much like how Lewis' Uncle Jonathan is best friends with his neighbor Mrs. Zimmerman. I'm not used to male/female relationships being so simple!
