Product Description: The lovable underdog Lewis Barnavelt and his best friend Rose Rita are at it again—investigating the curious (and possibly supernatural?) goings-on in their town of New Zebedee. They get more than they bargained for when a new family moves into the Hawaii House, one of the oddest-looking houses in town, and Lewis and Rose Rita are drawn into a mystery involving forces far beyond the shores of their imagination. Why are there strange drumbeats emanating from the top floor of the Hawaii House? And why is Lewis having dreams about Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire?
Incorporating actual Hawaiian legends with a spine-tingling story of suspense, this is another great addition to the Bellairs canon.
An excellent, chilling ghost story thriller THE HOUSE WHERE NOBODY LIVED by Brad Strickland provides another Lewis Barnavelt mystery featuring a protagonist created by the late John Bellairs. Here Lewis and his best friend Rose Rita probe the secrets of an odd house, where something strange is always happening. An excellent, chilling ghost story thriller evolves which will satisfy middle school readers.
The House Where Nobody Lived Good escapist fun. It continues to please the Bellairs fans who have grown accustomed to writings from beyond the grave, channelled so sympathetically by Brad Strickland.
Lewis.......... mistreated I love the character of Lewis and all, but for the most part Johnny is my favorite. And whatever happened to Anthony Monday? I appreciate Strickland's continuing of the characters of Bellairs, but he needs to give the other two guys some book time. I have not read this book, so I cannot comment on it. I'm just trying to say "hey, Brad - Anthony is ready for another book!!!"
