Items related to The Night Tourist
Jack Perdu, a shy, ninth grade classics prodigy lives with father on the Yale University campus. Smart and introverted, Jack spends most of his time alone, his nose buried in a book. But when Jack suffers a near fatal accident, his life is forever changed.
His father sends him to a mysterious doctor in New York City--a place Jack hasn't been since his mother died there eight years ago. While in the city, Jack meets Euri, a young girl who offers to show him the secrets of Grand Central Station. Here, Jack discovers New York's Underworld, a place where those who died in the city reside until they are ready to move on. This, Jack believes, is a chance to see his mother again. But as secrets about Euri's past are revealed, so are the true reasons for Jack’s visit to the Underworld.
Masterfully told, The Night Tourist weaves together New York City's secret history and its modern-day landscape to create a highly vivid ghost world, full of magical adventure and page-turning action.

Jack Perdue, a precocious ninth-grade classics scholar, is catapulted into an adventure in the land of the dead. This genre-crossing novel is somewhat awkward in the way its blends mythical characters with realistic settings. The character Cerberus, for example, enters the afterworld through New YorkÕs Grand Central terminal. Happily, the audio is anchored by the skillful reading of Andrew Rannels, who portrays Jack with various appropriate emotions. Jack enters the afterworld with a golden bough in the form of a subway token, but soon his time there begins to run out. RannelsÕs narrative pace quickens with JackÕs desperation to find his dead mother and to release Euri, his deceased companion and guide, from the world of death.
