A young hero and his professor friend set out to save a priest from a ghost, in this novel by the author of The House with a Clock in Its Walls

Aside from the eccentric Professor Childermass, young sleuth Johnny Dixon’s best friend may be Father Higgins, the kindly priest at the local church. When Higgins is transferred to the congregation in the tiny town of Rocks Village, Johnny and the professor are afraid they won’t see their old friend ever again. But they’ll be reuniting with Father Higgins sooner than they think—and the thing that brings them together will be positively out of this world.

No sooner has Father Higgins moved than he begins seeing a ghost lurking around the church. The apparition is a young girl who never speaks, but has a habit of leaving cryptic notes around Higgins’s house. When Higgins disappears, Johnny and the professor follow his trail, embarking on a haunting quest that will lead them all the way to England.

In The Secret of the Underground Room, this multimillion-selling, Edgar Award–winning author offers a good old-fashioned ghost story packed with adventure and suspense.

    Spooks for childern and adults

    Writing supernatural horror for children is a challenge. Bellairs and the narration by Johnny Heller make the task of horror for children appear to be easy. Many an adult will recoil in fright at the unique way the book unfolds. Where, you ask? Where else other than spook-drenched England? Like the previous books in the series, the story is filled with the same 11-year-old characters assisting their best friend, the 70-something professor encountering a Catholic priest. If you’re bent on listening to some magic spiced up with riddles and a spooky look at Catholic traditions, then settle into a cozy chair and let Johnny Heller weave his spell. Fun listening.
