Review
Praise for John Bellairs
“I have just spent a long rainy weekend buried under a quilt, devouring salty peanuts and a stack of John Bellairs mysteries. It was heaven . . . Much like other mysteries, these short works of the imagination are designed and constructed with the fine storytelling craft of an adult master. . . . Bellairs moves the action at a furious clip. . . . [These] hair-raising adventures also excite readers because they involve believable and likable characters with whom we can empathize in moments of danger . . . An endearing detective team.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
“Is there no end to the suspense John Bellairs can create?” —School Library Journal
“There’s suspense and action aplenty. . . Perfect for the pre-Stephen King set.” —Booklist
“Sophisticated notions on the nature of good and evil, nuanced storytelling, and expert world-building.” —AV Club
