Murder! Mystery! Rebellion! From bestselling and National
Book Award-winning author M.T. Anderson, a third visit to
the world of THE GAME OF SUNKEN PLACES.The land of New
Norumbega is an unusual one--an empire of gut and bone, a
kingdom of blood and mucus. At its dark, dry heart is a
ruling class that doesn't care about much besides itself . .
. and a ruler who is (literally) a one-eyed stump of flesh.
Brian and Gregory have come to New Norumbega for a
reason--to get the Norumbegans to help them thwart an alien
attack back home on earth. But instead, the two boys find
themselves caught up in both a robot rebellion and a murder
mystery after one of the Norumbegan leaders is sent to sleep
. . . permanently. In New Norumbega, it's very hard to know
who to trust. There are assassins around every corner, and
secrets pave every conversation. Brian and Gregory will be
lucky to make it out alive, never sure if they are meant to
catch the murderer . . . or be the killer's next victim.
