Books by Blei: "Newbery Honor Book" - Figgs & Phantoms

Figgs & Phantoms
by Ellen Raskin
(1975 Newbery Medal Book)

Recommended by: Alberto V.
This book is about how a depressed girl, Mona Lisa Figg Newton, is following the clues her Uncle Florence, a book dealer, left after he died. The clues are to find his capti (Figg's heaven).  Mona is encountering some difficulties along the way. Will she make it so her uncle knows where to go? My favorite part of the book was when they were getting Uncle Florence out of town to color his bus for his birthday surprise.

This book was: Very interesting and confusing!

I would recommend this book to:  Mystery and fantasy lovers!

I rate this book:
