The fifth book in the famous Lewis Barnavelt series.

Lewis and Uncle Jonathan have travelled to England to visit family at Barnavelt Manor, much to Lewis's delight - he hasn't visited family outside of America before!

Lewis becomes friends with the housekeeper's son, Bertie, and as the two boys explore the manor's garden maze, Lewis accidentally unleashes demonic forces that summon the ghost of an evil wizard adamant on destroying his entire family.

Can Lewis fight the maniacal wizard, or will all the Barnavelts perish?

Industry Reviews

"[Lewis's] endearing character, along with the novel's underlying current of melancholy, makes this much more than run-of-the-mill supernatural entertainment. Chock-full of deliciously spooky details and narrated in a voice that is as cozy as it is ornery, this tale is utterly spellbinding." --Publishers Weekly
"The atmosphere and supernatural effects here are particularly eerie, even for Bellairs. . . . Satisfyingly hair-raising." --Kirkus Reviews
