The last three people who stayed in the old Canadian cottage vanished into the northern air. But Anthony Monday is thrilled when his friend Miss Eells and her brother Emerson invite him to join them for a vacation in the cottage. Secretly, he thinks the threesome will have fun solving the mystery of the strange disappearances. But fun quickly turns to horror when Anthony discovers an enchanted trunk that can transport him to another world. The Autarchs who rule this world have put together a terrible plan to destroy the people of Earth. All they need to complete their plan is a mysterious cube which they have lost somewhere between the two worlds. Can Anthony and his friends rescue the cube before the Autarchs find it-or will their desperate struggle be the end of them? Enchanted spells, otherworldly villains, and likeable heroes are just a few of the ingredients that beloved author John Bellairs has combined to concoct this magical brew of spine-chilling adventure

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, the last, May 12, 2000

This review is from: The Mansion in the Mist: An Anthony Monday Book (Anthony Monday Mystery) (Paperback)

Sadly, this was the last novel completed by the late John Bellairs, the brilliant writer who more than anyone else sculpted the intellectual and imaginative structure of my mind as I grew up.

A welcome return by the Anthony Monday characters, this book does not have the rushed feel of THE SECRET OF THE UNDERGROUND ROOM and THE CHESSMEN OF DOOM, its close predecessors.

The marvelous characters further develop in surprising ways, and the enthralling mixture of atmosphere, mystery, humor, adventure, and horror that you've come to expect from Bellairs are happily present. The plot twists in the latter half of the novel are wondrous, as is the conception of the story itself.

MANSION is a strong late entry into the series, and it is a tragedy that Mr. Bellairs did not survive to further add to his volume of work. Unfortunately, despite Brad Strickland's valiant efforts, the novels since MANSION contain a void that I'm afraid will never be filled.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, November 15, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Mansion in the Mist: An Anthony Monday Book (Anthony Monday Mystery) (Paperback)

I have never liked reading but this John Bellairs book, The Mansion in the Mist, kept me reading. I got hooked onto his books in 4th grade and ever since I have enjoyed his books. The Mansion in the Mist has a lot of discriptive words in it, sets the setting and gets off to a great start. All the way through the book he is consistant on good adjectives and is very interesting. I like his endings the most though because sometimes they are scary but in the end his makes sure everyone's O.K. I think John Bellairs is the best author!!
