On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge
in a pear tree . . . We all know this classic Christmas song, but
what if someone really did send you all of those gifts? Where would
you put all the geese a-laying? Not to mention the lords a-leaping!
Find out in this charming story which is perfect for all the days
of Christmas.
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.
