and two ordinary children on a life-or-death mission in this first

book in the NYT’s bestselling series.

After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with

Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids’ mom through a

Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground
