Graphic novel star Kazu Kibuishi creates a world of terrible,
man-eating demons, a mechanical rabbit, a giant robot -
and two ordinary children on a life-or-death mission in this first
book in the NYT's bestselling series.
After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with
their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but
the strange house proves to be dangerous.
Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids' mom through a
door in the basement.
Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground
world inhabited by demons, robots, and talking animals.
Eventually, they enlist the help of a small mechanical rabbit
named Miskit. Together with Miskit, they face the most terrifying
monster of all, and Em finally has the chance to save someone she
loves.
