An utter joy, the sort of book I would have obsessed over as a kid: hero is an adult but one who treats kids as peers, there’s a shifty magician and some hissable heavies, the villain isn’t ridiculous just annoyingly prissy and there’s a special spy cat. There’s also a beautifully constructed plot involving a prophecy and a buried treasure in a rambling house. It feels like the sort of book to enchant the budding Bellairs fan, possibly a bridge between Lemony Snicket’s books and Bellairs own wonderful dark output. Just fantastic
