(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Will Terry. Despite horrific accidents and magical recoveries on his playground, new-to-town Dr. Fell has everyone (besides Nancy, Jerry, and Gail, that is) under his spell. Neilsen's storytelling and wicked plot (Dr. Fell is sucking the lives out of children) are accessible to intermediate readers, though some may grow impatient waiting for all to be unveiled in the finale. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the just-creepy-enough tale.
