About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle schooler feels like the weight of the world is on their shoulders or is struggling to navigate a environment where they feel like an outsider. It is a high-stakes supernatural thriller that follows fourteen year old Matt as he travels to Peru to stop an ancient evil. While the plot is fast paced and cinematic, the heart of the story lies in Matt's struggle with a destiny he did not choose and his search for a sense of belonging after being uprooted by trauma. This sequel intensifies the themes of responsibility and courage found in the first book. It is ideal for readers aged 10 to 14 who enjoy dark fantasy and stories where ordinary kids must exhibit extraordinary resilience. Parents should be aware that the book contains intense action sequences, themes of kidnapping, and some descriptions of physical peril, making it a great choice for mature readers who are ready to transition from standard adventure to more complex, gritty narratives.
