Kernel is a
teenager with an
odd talent -- he
sees pieces of
colored light
floating in the
air, and if he
concentrates he
can put them
together like a
jigsaw puzzle
into a window
shape. But
everything goes
horribly wrong
when a demonic
face jumps out
of one of the
windows and
draws the boy
into another
dimension. When
Kernel reappears
in his own
world, he
doesn't quite
remember all
that happened,
but figures out
that his baby
brother was also
kidnapped by the
demon. The
family moves to
a new town, but
there is no
escape from the
horror that has
entered their
lives. Demon
Thief follows
Lord Loss
(Little, Brown,
2005), the first
volume in this
grim and very
gory series from
the author of
the "Cirque du
Freak" books
(Little, Brown).
Readers who love
the ghastly and
demand a fast
pace will be
asking for more. |
