When Johnny Dixon needs a summer job, Professor Childermass thinks he can help him out. He offers him a job at the local museum. Professor Childermass also donates a box of old magic things to the museum, two of which are a wooden hand and a glass ball with snow inside (as shown on front of book), but when the evil Mergal arrives to claim the hand and the globe, Johnny Dixon and the professor are on an uphill battle against the evil powers of a malevolent sorcerer! |
Book Summary by David BassI think that this book was on of Brad Strickland's best. It has spooky details and magician stuff. They also introduce some new characters, but I won't tell you who they are. You have to read the book yourself. You can find this book very easily at Amazon Books for the low price of $14.99. I highly reccomend this book as a must for any John Bellairs collector.

Excerpt from the Book
The whole world revolved, and huge white flakes filled the air.
They touched Johnny's face and hands, and he yelped, for they were so terribly cold they burned like red-hot
knives stripping away his skin. He ran blindly, smashing against an invisible wall that was hard and unyeilding. |
