Synopsis

The abandoned schoolhouse sits just outside the town of Duston Heights, Massachusetts, and Johnny Dixon is not sure what called him there. Inside the darkened building, he finds three chilling stained glass windows which show a hooded monster, a vengeful angel, and the hateful, staring face of Zebulon Windrow. Impossibly, the old man speaks to Johnny, threatening revenge on behalf of one of his descendants—and then the room is filled with horrible insects. As they cover Johnny’s body, moving closer toward his mouth, he awakes and escapes the nightmare.But is Johnny’s vision of the schoolhouse really just a dream, or is it a warning? When Johnny falls into a strange trance from which he cannot be awakened, his friend Professor Childermass races to save him. To rescue the young boy, the professor must unlock the secret of the dream and delve into the terrible mysteries of the Windrow estate.The Revenge of the Wizard’s Ghost is suspenseful, spooky listening for fans of R. L. Stine or anyone looking for a story featuring a middle-school-aged hero facing down grown-up-sized scares.

I love this series. Johnny Dixon is great middle grade fiction. If you like gothic scary castles, wizards, ghosts, and the unexplained, then your kids will enjoy this.

Goodreads review by Cupof on February 21, 2018

The thing I love the most about the John Bellairs books is the artwork by Edward Gorey. This story is a bit patchy, but fun to read aloud. Our 'hero' Johnny Dixon spends much of this story in a coma (possibly from some sort of demonic possession), and Fergie and the professor are the heroes in this......more

Goodreads review by Justin on August 03, 2009

A direct sequel to The Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull, this is an entertaining novel, but not one of Bellairs' best. With Johnny barely clinging to life, possessed by the malevolent spirit of an old wizard, Bellairs gives us a great setup. But the plot falls down a bit towards the end. Part of the pr......more
