Summary

"For the people of Tupik, a tiny riverside village in Eastern Europe, demons are everywhere--dancing on the rooftops at midnight, congregating in the trees, trying to steal away the living. They even have a land of their own--the Far Country--governed by demonic lords and ladies. One night, the Angel of Death comes strolling through the village. This sends Yehuda Leib and Bluma, two children of Tupik, whirling off on a perilous journey through the Far Country, where they will make pacts with ancient demons and declare war on Death himself. And maybe--just maybe--find the way back. Drawing inspiration from Jewish folk tradition, Gavriel Savit takes readers on an unforgettable and life-affirming adventure filled with heart and hope"--, Dust jacket
