this was the first john bellairs book i ever read, back in the second grade. i am now a sophomore in college and was THRILLED to find this book, brand-new, at the goodwill store for a quarter. even twelve years later, the story is still as compelling, the characters still as unique. finding out that it was illustrated by edward gorey was a lovely bonus, and i am now on a quest to own every book he has ever written. i highly recommend this, or any of bellairs' other books, to anyone of any age. an absolute pleasure to read.
