The Letter the Witch and the Ring John Bellairs Richard Egielski 9780142402610 Books

Odd that this book should be included in the Lewis Barnavelt series in that Lewis barely puts in an appearance in this book. Nor does his uncle. This book is about Lewis’ best friend Rose Rita and the uncle’s best friend Mrs. Zimmermann. They take a road trip together and the last stop is hell…so to speak. Poor Mrs. Zimmermann more than meets her match in an old rival who has taken possession of a magic ring meant for Mrs. Zimmermann. Once again, John Bellairs carries over his oft-used themes from his other books: children given to lying to adults and, just as Lewis was under the power of a magic coin, so too does Rose Rita fall under the sway of the EVIL magic ring. Instead of coopting one of Lewis’ books for Rose Rita, Bellairs should have just given her a series of her own. A fun read.

The Letter the Witch and the Ring John Bellairs Richard Egielski 9780142402610 Books Reviews

Rose Rita is looking at her world and not liking what she sees. Her friend Lewis is going off to camp without her, her friend Mrs. Zimmerman has lost most of her magical powers and her mother is starting use terms like "growing up" and people "changing" as they get older. Especially when it comes to boys and girls. The problem with Rose Rita is that she is really more of a Tom Boy and doesn't really do a lot of the things that girls her age do. To her it seems that everyone else is changing and she is still the same.

When all hope seems lost and she resigns herself to having a boring summer, Mrs. Zimmerman receives a letter in the mail from an eccentric cousin that she hasn't spoke to in ages. The letter turns out to be from the lawyer that is representing the cousins estate. It turns out that the cousin has left his farm and all the contents to her. The letter also mentions a mysterious ring that she might be interested in. It also warns her that this ring should be kept hidden for it is very powerful.

So with a new adventure in sight Rose Rita begs Mrs. Zimmerman to rescue her from a summer of boredom and promises that she won't be in the way and she can help clean the old place up. Mrs. Zimmerman doesn't take much convincing and soon the two arrive at the farm. Unfortunately when they arrive the place has been ransacked.

Mrs. Zimmerman brush's it off as someone taking her cousin's stories too seriously and doesn't really think there is anything to worry about. They start cleaning up and find an empty ring case and Mrs. Zimmerman assumes that they theives got what they wanted, a useless old ring that her cousin thought was magical.

Soon afterward though strange events begin occur and Rose Rita will find out what the consequences of refusing to change can do to someone...

This was another book I picked up because I thought it looked interesting. It is part of a trilogy but it doesn't really dwell on what happened in the first two books expect for a couple of mentions so it's not necessary to have read them. It's an older book so some of the things mentioned in the book might not make sense to younger readers if they are not aware of some events during and after WWII. Again though it's not a big deal, it just dates the book a little.

I did like the story though. The main character is not helpless and can deal with most of the situations thrown at her and the story does a pretty good job of tackling the whole life change thing. I really did like how the ending made the point of how refusing to change and let go can twist a person without hitting the reader over the head with it. All in all a good read for younger or older readers. m.a.c
Great condition! Thanks!
This is another great story from an author who was lost too soon. You can't help but like the primary characters and their adventures of good vs. evil. This and all his stories that can be read time and again with the same level of enjoyment. Thank you for putting his books in format. Please put up the rest!
Purchase done well.
Oh, my stars. I was so excited to find this book. I first read it in grade school. I am 57, now and I still love John Bellairs books.
Mr. Bellairs is one of the greatest authors in the world. His books can be enjoyed by adults and children. No doubt, his books are classics.
His characters are so life like. Rose Rita, Lewis, Uncle Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman are so lovable.
If you enjoy some magic, mystery, humour and adventure from a cast of great characters, this is a dandy read. Every book in this series is delightful from the beginning to the end.
Out of all the John Bellairs books I remember reading this one is the scariest. I didn’t read it as a child, but reading as an adult still creeped me out a little and it was an interesting look at Rose Rita and gender conformity, especially given the decade it was published in.
