Summary: When Johnny is on a trip with his dad, he finds a book. The book contains a spirit that wants to take over the universe. When they get home, Johnny's dad falls deathly ill, and Johnny believes it has something to do with the spirit. In order to get his father's soul back, Johnny, the Professor, Father Higgins, Brewster, and Fergie travel to another dimension to kill the spirit. While they are there, they discover they are right about the spirit having Johnny's father's soul. Once they kill the spirit and return to their own dimension, so does Major Dixon, Johnny's father.
Booklist: "Eerie, suspenseful, and true to the style of Bellairs."
The Denver Post: "A combination of Leave It To Beaver and a middle reader's Stephen King...Kids will love it."
