The Curse of the Blue Figurine — John Bellairs

Johnny thought the terrible tale of Father Baart was a legend -- until it turned out to be true.

JOHNNY DIXON doesn't believe that the ghost of mad Father Baart haunts the town church. But then he takes an old scroll and a seemingly harmless figurine from the church basement, accepts a magic ring from a mysterious stranger -- and is plunged into a terrifying adventure that may cost him his life.
