Loosely based on the Ancient Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice, The Night Tourist takes readers on a journey of adventure and discovery though the realm of the dead. Jack Perdu, a 9th grade Classics enthusiast, is sent by his father to see a mysterious doctor in New York City, a town he has not visited since his mother’s death there eight years before. Jack meets a girl at Grand Central Station who offers to show him the station’s hidden secrets. Little does Jack know that he will soon be stepping beyond the veil that separates the living from the dead. This book is a fast-paced ghost story that takes readers on a quest for answers through the ghostly side of New York City.
