A review by calistareads
The Secret of the Underground Room by John Bellairs
4.0
This book is the 8th in the Johnny Dixon series and it take Johnny over the pond to Bristol, England and the Isle of Lundy. Their good friend Father Higgins has been possessed by a powerful spirit. They have to find a way to break the spell. The Professor and Fergie work with Johnny to save the world from this evil spirit.
John Bellairs sets a great tone and he has excellent pacing. John is simply a master at writing spooky for younger children. He hits all the right notes. If only there were some women in these stories. That is what is missing.
This one was a good read and it does the series proud. I really enjoy these books. They are wonderful and need to continue to be read.
