Summary: Very good descriptive words, one of the best in the series!*
Review: I've read a bunch of John Bellairs books and this is difinitly one of the best in the series. Rose Rita is my favorite charater of all Jhon Bellair's books.I can't wait to see what else Jhon Bellairs will write in the future! My favorite part is when Ms. Zimmerman finds out the terrible pain was really a piese of paper. I love the evilness lurking in every page of his novels. I hope that every book he writes in the future will be as good as this one! Kara Brooks* Age 1

Summary: Rosa Rita,Mrs Zimmerman, and the MAGIC RING.
Review: Rosa Rita had nothing to do this summer, because her best friend Lewis is going to a camp. But her friend Mrs. zimmermman had a letter from her cousin, that he was dead, and the farm he had it has passed to her. And he had also found a magic ring. Mrs. Zimmermman invited Rosa Rita to try and find out more about the MAGIC RING.
I did like the book, because I did'nt have anything better to do in class.

I recomended the book if you don't have anythig better to do, but if you have opportunity to play soccer, or any of your favorite sports don't read it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rose Rita takes center stage
Review: Rose Rita Pottinger, introduced in THE FIGURE IN THE SHADOWS, takes center stage with the elderly witch Mrs. Zimmermann in this book.

Mrs. Zimmermann, who lost her powers in the last book, takes Rose Rita with her on vacation after Rose Rita's best friend Lewis goes off to Boy Scout camp. They start off visiting a farm that Mrs. Z has inherited, but find that a ring that her cousin had believed to be magic is missing. Mrs. Z dismisses it but Rose Rita isn't so sure. As they continue on their trip, they find themselves stalked by supernatural events, and it comes to a head when they return to the old farm and confront their enemy, a person with a bitter grudge who will go to any length to get revenge.

This book deals with the problems of growing up; Rose Rita isn't sure she wants to grow up, and as a tomboy is afraid of the whole dresses-and-dating thing, something a lot of girls deal with. The writing is full of evocative passages describing the small towns they go through on their vacation, reminding me of many of my own childhood vacations. The villain is evil, to be sure, but also fairly tragic when we get a flash that they're a victim of longtime domestic violence.

This is good fun, moving at a leisurely pace at times, but also with genuinely chilling moments. The central message is to be at peace with who you are, and to make the best of yourself, rather than wanting to be something you're not.

For a long time, this was the last in the Barnavelt series, until THE GHOST IN THE MIRROR was published after Bellairs' death, with additional material by Brad Strickland.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOOK
Review: This book is so amazing. The plot is as well thought of as the characters. This book is so gripping. I am glad what happens to Gert Bigger in the end. If you buy the book, you'll find out what happens. This is a great mystery. You should BUY it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool Review
Review: This book talks about a young girl named Rose Rita. She is 16yrs old and she likes this boy named Lewis,but Lewis went on a boy scout camp. She was very disappoited about this,and Mrs.Zimmermann asked Rose Rita to come along with her to Oley's Farm. But Rose Rita told Mrs.zimmermann that she needed to ask her parents for permission.She was very excited that she was going on a trip with Mrs.Zimmermann. On the way to Oley's farm they run out of gas,and they have to walk a few miles to the Gas Station.Throught out this story Rose Rita meets new people and she rescues Mrs.Zimmermann from Mrs.Bigger.

I encourage other people to read this book, because it's a great book and it had a lot of good things in it and that they could learn a little about this Author. What I learned from this author is that many of the events in John Bellairs books are from things that happened or that he wished would happen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent fantasy and magic story
Review: This is definetely a book for magic lovers. It was hard to put down once I had started. I think Rose Rita is a very practical girl and smart. I say this book is open for any age.
