What a wonderful way to spend the start of 2019 — on a project to read through the young people’s literature from John Bellairs & Co. In sixth grade, when I first read Bellairs, I was entranced. The books may have been the first time I saw my middle-grade self in literature — specifically in young characters who thought “too much” and who were friends with older generations.
