- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Uncle Jonathan and neighbor Mrs. Zimmerman are called to Florida because of a friend's death, Lewis is left in the care of old Mrs. Holtz. She only knows that Uncle Jonathan is interested in magic, not that he's a powerful magician, that Mrs. Zimmerman is an actual witch, or that their Michigan town is a hotbed of supernatural activity. So no one warns Lewis and his best friend Rose Rita not to go into the abandoned old opera house for their school project. Lewis discovers the music to an operatic masterpiece there, and news of the find brings a mysterious stranger to town who insists on staging the production at all costs, even shutting down the school. With nearly every adult suddenly wanting to sing opera, no one but Lewis and Rose Rita notice that their town has been cut off from the outside world by a thick fog that keeps them from leaving and anyone from getting in.I really like Bellairs' books. They have just the right amount of scary for kids but plenty of plot for adults. It might be hard to see from the cover, but it depicts a scene of Lewis, riding his bike at night through the thick fog while ghosts attack him, biting and trying to knock him over. That would scare a kid.
