Bellairs, John. The Dark Secret Of Weatherend . New York: Puffin Books, 1984. Fry: 6 ISBN: -14 - 038006 - X Summary: !955 rural Minnesota setting. Teen Anthony Monday and his spry, elderly librarian friend Myra Eells, trespass on the abandoned estate of the late, eccentric J.K. Borkman, who practiced alchemy and philosophized about weather control. They accidentally discover and steal a box which contains Borkman's diary. The theft of the book triggers unusually violent weather, interaction with a diabolical figure, and the inevitable risky trek by the protagonists. Review: Midwestern idioms might throw ESL students a little bit, but this high interest/low skill novel contains enough elements of mystery, action and intrigue to hold an adolescent's or developmental reader's interest. Some challenging (but not frustrating) vocabulary. Sixty-nine-year-old Myra Eells' spriteliness is a tad implausible, but the entire novel calls for a general suspension of belief. Predictable conflict resolution, but original characterizations. Some anachronisms. For example, in a 1955 setting, Miss Eells uses a credit card and wears sweats and gym shoes. Oh well she is eccentric. Teachers' Reading Resource / Young Adult Fiction gary packard

a critical list with discussions
Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books by John Bellairs
This is a brief discussion of John Bellairs and, of course, of some books by John Bellairs.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Bellairs; it includes those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( ) before the' title so you know what's what.)
I don't pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Bellairs tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Bellairs worthy; in sum, to help you rank Bellairs (and the works by Bellairs listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_bellairs_lewisbarnaveltomni.html
John Bellairs, The House With a Clock in its Walls (Puffin, reprint edition, 1993)
John Bellairs, The Figure in the Shadows (Puffin, reprint edition, 1993)
John Bellairs, The Letter, The Witch, and the Ring (Puffin, reprint edition, 1993) Bellairs wrote a number of gothic novels for children. He worked with three main sets of characters, and in each set there is an early-adolescent boy who is something of an outcast, and who forms a close relationship with an adult who is also an outcast. The three books reviewed here center on the adventures of Lewis Barnavelt, a bookish ten-year-old who goes to live with his Uncle Jonathan when he is orphaned. (His orphan-status is stated outright and not much mentioned again; parental angst isn't much of a theme for Bellairs.) In The House With a Clock in its Walls The Figure In the Shadows is the second of the "Barnavelt" books. Here, Lewis is the frequent victim of a school bully (bullies are indeed a common theme in Bellairs), and he wishes for strength so he can stand up to his tormentor. When he finds a lucky coin, he begins to have strange visions of a shrouded figure coming for him; and when he says a charm over the coin, a charm designed to awaken magical amulets, bad things really start to happen. The Letter, the Witch and the Ring

Thrills and Chills with John Bellairs
First published in The Daily Times , Ottawa, IL
(August 15, 2000)
Chances are, if you read one book by author John Bellairs, you'll want to track down all 24 of them. They're that good. I first discovered John Bellairs when I was 10 years old and saw the spooky cover of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" in the school library. After that first creepy book, I was hooked. I still am. In "The House with a Clock in Its Walls," orphan Lewis Barnavelt is sent to live with his strange Uncle Jonathan in New Zebedee, Michigan, where Lewis's life takes a supernatural turn. Uncle Jonathan is a wizard, you see, and not only does the next-door neighbor, Mrs. Zimmerman, make excellent chocolate chip cookies—she's also a powerful witch. Though fun-loving Uncle Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman strictly use their white magic for good (and a little bit of evening entertainment), Lewis tries to impress a classmate with a magic spell and soon makes a bad mistake: he revives evil Mrs. Izard from the dead. Mrs. Izard, a black magic sorceress, plans on destroying the world with her husband's doomsday clock unless Lewis and company can stop her in time. In addition to the high fright factor, Bellairs' books are loaded with laughs. My favorite character is wacky old Mrs. Zimmerman, and not just because she believes in cookies and poker for every occasion. Everything in her house is purple, right down to the toilet paper. And while she and Uncle Jonathan are best friends, they take great delight in creating nicknames for each other like Hag Face, Weird Beird, Frizzy Wig, and Pruny.

Help Like this page? Send it to a friend! John Bellairs is perhaps best known as the author of some 15 gothic mystery novels for young adults. Along with these, he also produced three 'adult' books: St Fidgeta and Other Parodies The Pedant and the Shuffly , and the Tolkien-inspired fantasy The Face in the Frost . Of these adult titles, only The Face in the Frost is still in print. Biographical Information Born on January 17, 1938, John Bellairs grew up in the small town of Marshall, Michigan, USA. These were wonderful years for Bellairs, and he looked back upon them with great fondness. In his novels he often included things that happened to him as a child as well as things he wished could have happened. John Bellairs began his career as an English professor teaching at the College of St Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and then at Shimer College in Mount Carrol, Illinois. After the success of his first book St Fidgeta and Other Parodies , Bellairs attempted to turn to writing full time. After a six month stay in England he realised that writing alone would not sustain him and so returned to the US and picked up his teaching career once more. Following the success of some of his later books, Bellairs was able to return to writing full time for good. He spent much of his adult life in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and died there of cardiovascular disease, on March 8, 1991.
