The Gates
Book (italiano):
Young Samuel Johnson and his dachshund Boswell are trying to show initiative by trick-or-treating a full three days before Halloween. Which is how they come to witness strange goings-on at 666 Crowley Avenue. The Abernathys don't mean any harm by their flirtation with the underworld. But when they unknowingly call forth Satan himself, they create a gap in the universe. A gap which holds a pair of enormous gates—the gates to Hell. And there are some pretty terrifying beings determined to get out…? <P>Can one small boy defeat evil? Can he harness the power of science, faith and love to save the world as we know it?? <P>Bursting with imagination and impossible to put down, <em>The Gates</em> is about the pull between good and evil, physics and fantasy. It is about a quirky and eccentric boy who is impossible not to love, and the unlikely cast of characters who give him the strength to stand up to a demonic power. Like Mark Haddon's <em>The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time</em>, this novel manages to re-create for grownups that magical and scary world of childhood that we've all left behind but so love to visit.
