I'm also a really big fan of John Blair's he's a great author he wrote house with a clock in its walls he wrote Spooky books for kids that are genuinely spooky and a lot of his books are also illustrated by Edward gory who's one of my favorite illustrators ever so I always pick up any kind of edition of his books I can find I like these older paperback editions because these are the ones that I used to read so this is the chesman of Doom by John Blair's it's a Johnny Dixon mystery
