About This Item
Millbrae, CA: Celestial Arts, 1981. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good +. This is a stated first printing of the first edition. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, with no marks or signs of previous use. The illustrated laminated covers are bright, with just a touch of wear at tips and corners. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, but is only in Good + condition, with moderate wear, rubbing and chipping. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: One day Christopher, a thirteen-year-old boy who is bright, messy, difficult to control, and generally disliked by his classmates and his sister, knocks at the door of a haunted house on a dare. There he meets a man who calls himself the Headmaster, who teaches Cristopher how to use the powers of his mind -- to make himself invisible, shrink in size, and even move things without touching them. The temptation for mischief is too great, and Christopher is caught up in one fantastic adventure after another. But the Headmaster ha others ideas about the uses and responsibilities of this power, and there are other lessons which Christopher hadn't counted on.
