The Curse of the Blue Figurine,
By
This review is from: The Curse of the Blue Figurine: A Johnny Dixon Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
As an adult and an avid reader of children's literature, I can heartily recommend this book to adults and children alike. It is a wonderful blend of fantasy and mystery that will not only make you laugh, but make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end! Even adults can find a great deal of pleasure reading Mr. Bellairs. I'm a huge fan of J.K. Rowling and this book...in fact all of John Bellairs books...come quite close to attaining the level of entertaiment reached by the Harry Potter series. So, if you have already finished Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (I have and it's fantastic) and you haven't a clue as to what you will read to tide you over until Ms. Rowling publishes book number 5, read The Curse of the Blue Figurine...and all of the other wonderful books by John Bellairs. You won't be disappointed, whether you are 9 or 90.

This review is from: The Curse of the Blue Figurine: A Johnny Dixon Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much. It all started when my school had a Scholastic Book fair, and then on the day I forgot to bring my money! So my friend bought the book for me since it was on a huge sale ($2.00!) and I decided to read it. At first I chose this book only because it was cheap, and I thought it would be BORING! But I was SO wrong! This book has a superior plot, a great story outline, and mostly, it is thrilling! It is about 12-year-old Johny Dixon after hearing a tale of Father Baart decided to find out if it was true. Then a mystery starts to happen where a stranger gives him a ring, but a was truly Father Baart. At the end the story ends happily, and I read it over and over again like 3 times already! My brother is reading it now, and he says so far so good. I am currently buying book by John Bellairs. Thanks for writing such a interesting book that I can't put down!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Curse of the Blue Figurine: A Johnny Dixon Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
The Curse of the Blue Figurine is a superduper book. I loved this book because it's about magic happenings. In this story Johnny finds a mystical statue and a letter from Father Baart. Weird things start to happen to the young innocent boy. Johnny thinks it's just a legend, but is it? If you really want to find out, READ this book and I am sure you won't regret it.
