ANOTHER FAUST: THE FIRST OF ANOTHER SERIES

Book ID/图书代码： 00500008B24032

English Summary/英文概要： A devilish debut by a brother-sister team invites us into the world of the elite Marlowe School, where some gifted students are having a hell of a year.

One night, in cities all across Europe, five children vanish — only to appear, years later, at an exclusive New York party with a strange and elegant governess. Rumor and mystery follow the Faust teenagers to the city’s most prestigious high school, where they soar to suspicious heights with the help of their benefactor’s extraordinary "gifts." But as the students claw their way up — reading minds, erasing scenes, stopping time, stealing power, seducing with artificial beauty — they start to suffer the sideeffects of their own addictions. And as they make further deals with the devil, they uncover secrets more shocking than their most unforgivable sins. At once chilling and wickedly satirical, this contemporary reimagining of the Faustian bargain is a compelling tale of ambition, consequences, and ultimate redemption.

Reviews
Told in detailed, gothic language…switching character viewpoints often, the authors keep the pace moving to an ending full of action, revelation and horror.---Kirkus Reviews

An absorbing, imaginative read, with a tense climax---Publishers Weekly

A reimagined gothic classic with heavy prose and dark underlying themes: the confliction between good and evil in the human soul and the pitfalls of greed and ambition.---Fantasy Literature.com

Grade 8–10—When five siblings enroll at Marlowe, an elite prep school in Manhattan, a secret advantage allows them to edge out the competition in sports, class offices, and the hearts of the most popular students. They have all—knowingly or unknowingly—exchanged their souls for supernatural gifts: mind-reading, athletic ability, great writing, control over time, and extreme beauty. However, their evil governess, Madame Vileroy, is not content with what she has already taken from her children. She gets great pleasure in pitting them against one another, regularly offering them more power or accolades in exchange for more of their essential selves. But how far does her power reach? And when is it too late to turn away from evil? With several well-timed twists and numerous allusions to Faustian bargains throughout history, this juicy story will appeal to teens who enjoy the power grabs and backstabbing of Cecily von Ziegesar’s "Gossip Girls" (Little, Brown), as well as to fans of dark contemporary fantasy.---Hayden Bass, Seattle Public Library, WA END, From School Library Journal
