Summary: Brad, give it up...
Comment: I am a loyal and long-time fan of Bellairs' works. When he died, my heart broke at the thought of his characters being forever retired. My hope was rekindled when I discovered a copy of "The Drum, the Doll, and the Zombie" and found out that Strickland was attempting to step in for the late author. With "Drum," he succeeded, but only because he was writing a book based on a plot concept of Bellairs'. When left to forge his own stories, he produces dull, cheesy books that shy away from the terror and suspense Bellairs mastered. In this story, Fergie becomes the main player, which is a poor decision in itself, as the Fergie character can't carry a story the way Johhny and the Prof can. Secondly, the tale of an evil man out to steal Fergie's youth could work, but it is poorly executed. The concept of an evil book with Fergie's name embossed on it and the power to reapear after being discarded is both hokey and hackneyed. I'm sure that Bellairs would've appreciated Strickland's gesture, but would have preferred he let it go.
