More About This Book

Overview

After traveling to the underworld and back to the realm of the living, Jack Perdu tries hard to fit in at his new school—and to win the affections of his classmate Cora. In an effort to impress her, Jack leads Cora to the entrance of the underworld and makes a terrible mistake. Soon they have crossed the threshold—and there may be no getting back.

Like The Night Tourist, this exciting sequel blends together the modern-day world and mythology—this time cleverly introducing readers to the myth of Persephone and Eros.

Editorial Reviews

Mary Quattlebaum
The allusions to ancient gods may draw fans of Rick Riordan's popular series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. However, the dark humor and poignant exchanges between the dead and living put this novel closer in tone and sensibility to The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. Like that Newbery winner, The Twilight Prisoner will keep kids reading late into the balmy nights ahead.

From The Critics

In this quick-paced sequel to The Night Tourist, Marsh returns readers, and her hero Jack Perdu, to the New York City underworld. In an effort to impress his classmate Cora, Jack takes her to the underworld, but heightened security leaves them without a return route. Jack and Cora dodge underworld authorities as they track down the civil engineer who may hold the key to their escape, while piecing together a mystery involving Euri, the ghost Jack befriended in the previous book (readers needn't have read it, as Marsh provides sufficient background). The hallmarks of The Night Tourist remain: the historical trivia and humor Marsh weaves through her text (ghosts at the Bloomingdale asylum learn the limbo, as part of their therapy), appearances by notable deceased figures (Emily Post, W.H. Auden) and the influence of Greek myth. (This story takes cues from the story of Persephone, in which the goddess is abducted by Hades and brought to the underworld.) 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. Ages 10-up. (Apr.)

    What a book!

    There are many positives and negatives in this book.Some positives are that the author explained the book and concept of the new york underworld really well. The author also has some good vocabulary and a good knowledge of latin. The negatives of this book is that he put to much latin in. She also had way too many dramatic events happening all at once.There was also a lot more crying and sadness then necessary.
    The writing style of the author is different in many ways. The author
    used third person narration. It was easy and hard to read in different parts of the book. For example, she would say sentences that would make you think " Who is she talking about? How is she using this term or word?" She made you think a little. But she also included a lot of action. She also included alot of emotion. She had a lot of sadness in this novel.I would recommend this book for many reasons. One reason is that it has a lot action. In almost every page there is running, screaming, and adventure. Its also exciting as they unravel the mystery of getting out of the under world. I would not recommend it because it has a lot of sadness. Other recommendations are The night Tourist,Haunted Christmas, and The Nancy Drew series. Some novels similar to The night Tourist are The stone Heart triology, Purple heart, and Lily Dale: Connecting.
