Brad Strickland was not John Bellairs. I enjoyed the books that Strickland finished for Bellairs, but this was one of the first ones he wrote whole-cloth (scratch that, it was third) and it didn't feel right.

Lewis, Rose Rita, Uncle Jonathan, and Mrs. Zimmerman are racing against yet another Doomsday Clock to save the world from old Isaac Izzard's son, the equally nasty Ishmael Izzard, who has set up his evil shop, so to speak, on an invisible island.
This series is so fun and I love that Charlie loves them, too. As always, just the right amount of creepy without becoming outright scary.
