DESCRIPTION:
Praise for The Twilight Prisoner: ?“Readers should be drawn in by the complex relationships between Marsh’s protagonists and Jack’s continuing existential struggles, caught between the worldsof the living and the dead.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)For The Night Tourist: ?“This intelligent and self-assured debut will compel readers from its outset, and leave them satisfi ed as it explores universal themes of love, loss, and closure.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A literate and luminous retelling of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice set in theunderworld of New York City.” —School Library Journal
"Readers should be drawn in by the complex relationships between Marsh's protagonists and Jack's continuing existential struggles, caught between the worlds of the living and the dead." —Publishers Weekly, starred review"The plot is lavishly draped with snappy dialogue, realistic teen characters and clever didn't-see-it-coming twists. But a new school, new friends, and new feelings for his Latin classmate Cora make the world of the living a complicated place. She spent a decade as a journalist, including as a reporter for Rolling Stone and as managing editor of The New Republic. Jack Perdu survived his first trip to New York City's ghostly underworld. An outstanding story with wide appeal." —Ki
Plenty of Genuine Tension and Emotional Impact At the end of my review of Katherine Marsh's THE NIGHT TOURIST, I wrote that the book leaves "readers hoping for a sequel and another glimpse into whether or not Jack can find hope and comfort among the living as well as he does among the dead." Fortunately, for fans of Jack Perdu's original adventures, Marsh has done just that in the se. I. Comstock said An Amazing Sequel. This second book made me keep reading 'til the very end, because I didn't want to stop. A thoroughly satisfying continuation of The Night Tourist, although the love-triangle was slightly cliche'.. sequel to the Night Tourist greenhead Sorry that this book did not sell as well as the first book in this two-book series. Protagonist Jack is now a year or two older, and is finding out about jealousy and love triangles-- good stuff for 'tweeners and middle schoolers who also like a) fantasy, and b) Greek mythology, to ponder over.
