A boy sneaks into an old church to confront a mad ghost in this
adventure by the author of The House with a Clock in Its Walls It's
the 1950s when Johnny Dixon's mother dies, his father goes to fight
in the Korean War, and he goes to live with his grandparents.
Although life in a new house is strange, Johnny's "Grampa" listens
to his favorite ballgames, takes him on long walks, and tells him
stories of the strange mysteries that lurk in the shadows. Best of
all, he's friends with Professor Childermass, an eccentric academic
who's about to take Johnny on the adventure of a lifetime. When the
professor learns Johnny loves ghost stories, he tells the boy the
spookiest legend in Duston Heights, Massachusetts-the tale of the
haunted church on the edge of town, with demonic carvings on its
altar, and the troubled spirit of mad Father Baart, who is said to
have killed two people before vanishing long ago. With the
professor as his guide, Johnny sets out on a quest that will put
him face-to-face with the crazy, long-dead priest. The first book
in the delightful Johnny Dixon series by the author who provides
"suspense and action aplenty" (Booklist), The Curse of the Blue
Figurine is a good old-fashioned Gothic adventure.
