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
Road. 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 through which a pair of
enormous gates is visible. The gates to Hell. And there are some
pretty terrifying beings just itching to get out.... Can one small
boy defeat evil? Can he harness the power of science, faith, and
love to save the world as we know it?
Bursting with imagination and impossible to put down, The Gates is
about the pull between good and evil, physics and fantasy and the
courage of a boy who is barely old enough to trick or treat on his
own. This novel makes anything seem possible.
This is a novel containing two parallel stories: a fable about
Ortho the Cricket's quest to sing a World Song which transcends the
traditional Cricket Song and it is also a story about Dan Lesniak's
quest for artistic expression that transcends traditional painting
techniques. Ortho and Dan travel different paths to same
destination. Both meet obstacles on the way that hinder their
quests and threaten to prevent them from achieving their life-long
pursuits.
