A young hero and his professor friend set out to save a priest from a ghost, in this novel by the author of The House with a Clock in Its Walls

Aside from the eccentric Professor Childermass, young sleuth Johnny Dixon’s best friend may be Father Higgins, the kindly priest at the local church. When Higgins is transferred to the congregation in the tiny town of Rocks Village, Johnny and the professor are afraid they won’t see their old friend ever again. But they’ll be reuniting with Father Higgins sooner than they think—and the thing that brings them together will be positively out of this world.

No sooner has Father Higgins moved than he begins seeing a ghost lurking around the church. The apparition is a young girl who never speaks, but has a habit of leaving cryptic notes around Higgins’s house. When Higgins disappears, Johnny and the professor follow his trail, embarking on a haunting quest that will lead them all the way to England.

In The Secret of the Underground Room, this multimillion-selling, Edgar Award-winning author offers a good old-fashioned ghost story packed with adventure and suspense.

I loved these books as a kid and I’m delighted they’re available again. They are wonderfully weird and fun.

Excellent book.

The reader is reading it, like he’s trying to get it over with as soon as possible. He’s reading like a newscaster whipping through the news, which is totally inappropriate for a book like this. The point of this book is to pass the time, we don’t want it to go fast. Bellairs spends time creating an atmosphere, and it’s very diminished by the reader. I’m going to try listening to it on .7 speed and see if that helps.

I don’t like the reader at all
