In this pulse-quickening sequel to Another Faust, an ancient
Egyptian spell is turning the tony Marlowe School into a sinister
underworld. Will all hell break loose?
Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling and her insecure freshman brother, John,
are hitting the books at the Marlowe School. But one tome consumes their
attention: The Book of Gates, a coveted Egyptian artifact that their
professor father believes has magical powers. Soon Wendy and John
discover that the legend is real--when they recite from its pages and
descend into a snaking realm beneath the Manhattan school. As the
hallways darken, and dead moths cake the floor, a charismatic new R.A.
named Peter reveals that their actions have unleashed a terrible
consequence: the underworld and all its evil is now seeping into
Marlowe. Daniel Nayeri and Dina Nayeri return to reimagine Peter Pan
as a twisty, atmospheric, and fast-paced fantasy about the perils of
immortality.
