The Curse of the Blue Figurine review

By: John Bellairs If you are bored and want some adventure then read this book. It has action, adventure, and is pretty creepy, it is really good. It is about a boy named Johnny who hears about the cursed blue figurine in his local church and how the old priest haunts it.

His grandma is very critical and his grandpa is easy going. Johnny meets a professor and became good friends. The professor is my favorite and tells Johnny about father Baart the old priest and how he haunts the church. A kid named Eddie Tompike bullies Johnny because he is so smart, I don't really like him but I think it was good to add him because every book needs one.

The story begins in Johnny’s house and he hears a knock on the door its the professor. Later he is in the church and he found the blue figurine so he rushes over to the professor’s house and shows him the figurine. Soon after that he has to get something for his teacher then Eddie Tompike comes and hurts Johnny and runs away on the playground. I love all of the detail in the setting.

This book has a creepy vibe to it like when Johnny found the blue figurine he heard a sound in the dark basement he was in. the plot of this book is very good. The plot is very suspenseful like when a man gave Johnny a strange ring. The plot maybe the best thing in the book.

The theme of this book is back in the 1900’s before TVs were around or so I think. It was back then because the book said that when Johnny got home he went straight to the radio and turned it on. He didn’t have a TV or a computer or anything like that. That was a spectacular part because we would think about it like any day but they made it like the old days.

As you can see I think this is a good book with no doubt. It is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time and maybe one of the creepiest with its vivid detail of his dreams. The ending was great but I don’t want to spoil it!
