Review: Curse "A Well-Written Alternative To 'Goosebumps'"

Book review: The Curse of the Blue FigurineIf you're looking for a well-written alternative to the "Goosebumps" series, introduce a young reader to Bellairs's books, beginning with this one, which follows Johnny Dixon after he removes a haunted figurine from a church basement of his church. The adventures continue in The Mummy, the Will and the Crypt; The Revenge of the Wizard's Ghost; and The Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull.
