Book 16 : The Figure in the Shadows
Add
The second story by John Bellairs following Lewis, Jonathan, and Mrs. Zimmerman in their experiences with scary forces also introduces, Rose Rita, Lewis’ now best friend. Again, on these re-reads, the characters and stories really remind me of Harry Potter, with Rose Rita being parallel to Hermoine Granger in many ways. Maybe this is why I like the Harry Potter books so much, they connect with my childhood reading memories in a way that I am just now realizing. This book deals with a civil war medallion, a snow storm, and an intense car chase through the backwoods of Michigan. It was great fun to re-read since enough years had passed that I really did not remember how the stories ended.
