The teens \"sail\" backward down a hill in Upper Manhattan, then fall down a huge construction site hole and into the vast sewer system below.\u003cbr\u003e Thrust into an amazing adventure, the kids navigate waterfalls and rapids as they travel through the rain sewers. They meet a graffiti artist their own age, a homeless person named You, and rats the size of large dogs. They fall into the hands of a gangster who claims the sewers as her kingdom and the homeless as her subjects, and acts as a fence for luxury goods! Will she feed Timothy and Jessamyn to the rats? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eUndertown\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Two suburban teens ride a sailboat into Manhattan's storm drains and meet quirky residents aplenty.\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's a coming-of-age escapade with a sense of wonder, and Bukiet pays homage to the history and mysteries of NYC with a writing style that's part sentimental, part poetic, and part tongue-in-cheek.\"\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This classic hero's journey is set against the detailed backdrop of New York City, both above ground and below.\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harry N.
