That said, this is a Rose Rita book and that means its great. Romantic feelings, even if Rose Rita and Lewis were going to stay platonic, were not Bellairs' territory. Rose Rita and Lewis had reached a point in their relationship where certain realities were gonna have to be addressed if their friendship was going to continue. The only full posthumous work he left was 'The Mansion in the Mist', a rare Anthony Monday book, and one of his all-time best works. I haven't read a full biography, I don't know if there even is one, but it seems to me from Bellairs' focus on Johnny Dixon through the '80s tells me that these manuscripts were likely experiments and wouldn't have seen publication. This was the first of two manuscripts finished by Brad Strickland after the death of John Bellairs in 1991. Zimmermann’s magical abilities back in action, so I’m sure that the next novel will see even more action as our whole team of players is at 100%! ( ) She is at that awkward age when she’s beginning to become a more grown up young lady, so with her mind engaged and her abilities showcased, we get to see her earn some confidence that will help when she returns to the real world. Not only do we get a fun view back in time to the magical views of the Pennsylvania Dutch (a superstitious bunch, from the sounds of it) and their simpler way of life, but we get to see Rose Rita take charge and help solve a bunch of magical problems.

Zimmermann’s magic and helping solve a “horrible injustice” from happening to her magical teacher (who was just a little girl at the time).

This book had the ladies travel back in time to 1828, in the hopes of restoring Mrs. Zimmermann and Rose Rita Pottinger so much that I don’t care if we don’t see as much of Lewis and his zany uncle. This series may have started off chronicling the magical adventures of Lewis Barnavelt, but I am enjoying the author’s change of focus towards the characters of Mrs.
