Gods of Manhattan

by Scott Mebus

Gods of Manhattan Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Look. What do you see? Sidewalks, skyscrapers, pigeons? But there?s more. More that only twelve-year-old Rory Hennessey can see. More that only Rory can reveal to others.

So, look again. What do you see? Layered on our own New York is a spirit city inhabited by warrior cockroaches, malevolent subway trains, kung fu rodents, hungry gargoyles, and children made entirely of papier-mache. Built by history and legend, it?s ruled by the Gods of Manhattan, lions of New York like Peter Stuyvesant and Babe Ruth.

Now everyone is racing to find Rory?the boy who can see. The boy who can change the destiny of New York.

Synopsis:

Mebus delivers the thrilling conclusion to the trilogy praised as compulsively readable by "School Library Journal" and uncommonly entertaining by "Kirkus Reviews."
