The Eighth Day

Resumen del libro

The day after his thirteenth birthday, Jax Aubrey wakes up to a world without any people. At least that's what he thinks until life goes back to normal the next morning. What's going on? Then his eighteen-year-old guardian, Riley Pendare, explains that what Jax experienced is really the Eighth Day an extra twenty-four hours sandwiched between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people like Jax and Riley are Transitioners and able to live in all eight days, while others, including Evangeline, the elusive teenage girl hiding out in the house next door, exist only on this special day.

At first, having a secret extra day seems pretty awesome. But there's a group of people who want to use the Eighth Day to destroy the normal seven-day world and Evangeline is the key to their sinister plan. As Jax tries to protect his new friend, he's faced with an impossible choice: trigger an apocalypse or sacrifice Evangeline.

The first book in an exciting new tween series for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, The Eighth Day is the perfect mix of magic and suspense.
