Rendition Supposing Books The Night Tourist (Jack Perdu #1)

Jack Perdu, a shy ninth grade classics prodigy, lives with his 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 New York 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 Perdu is a 15 year old fascinated by all things latin. One day, while reading a text, he gets hit by a car. Luckily, it's nothing bad but he's been seeing weird things since. His father sends him to a doctor in NY. On the way back, he meets Euri at the train station. She's been dead for a while and she takes him on a journey through the NY of the dead. All the while, he's searching for his mom who died in NY 8 years ago.Good book, very easily read. I love the author's vision of death : all

It's the first teenlit story I've read. I like the fantasy it offered about the ghost and supernatural things. But I feel like the cultural background of the book is not very solid. But I still enjoyed the story after all. Look forward to read the sequel

The Night Tourist is such an incredible book, one of the best I've read this year so far, I think. Not only is it set in beautiful and scenic New York City, but its take on ghosts and their alternate world is something else entirely. This is a book which reminded me very much of why I love ghost stories so much - death is never just the end of life, but instead a journey. Jack, an introverted high-schooler whose life is hardly what anybody would consider normal, is an excellent character, but

Jack lost his mother eight years ago and has just suffered a recent accident. After the accident, he is seeing some strange things and a girl ends up leading him to the afterworld under New York. It had a nice twist of mythology in the urban setting and was a quick and enjoyable read.

The second half was much better than the first half. At first I was not drawn into this book at all, but by the end I found myself invested in the story. This is a cute novel very fitting for young adults.

I enjoy reading modern interpretations of classic myths -- and I especially enjoy books that I can recommend to my middle school mythology geeks, but as much as I liked the ideas behind this book, the plot seemed a little too basic and straightforward.
