Discover an underground world full of tunnels and mystery in this middle grade adventure from the bestselling, Pulitzer-nominated author of Heroes of the Frontier and Her Right Foot.

What if nothing was as it seemed? What if the ground beneath your feet was not made of solid earth and stone but had been hollowed into hundreds of tunnels and passageways? What if there were mysterious forces in these tunnels, mere inches below you as you sit in class or eat a banana?

What if it were up to just two kids to stop these forces? What would it feel like to know the fate of an entire town rested on your shoulders?

Twelve-year-old Gran Flowerpetal is about to find out.

When Gran''s friend, the difficult-to-impress Catalina Catalan, presses a silver handle into a hillside and opens a doorway to underground, he knows that she is extraordinary and brave, and that he will have no choice but to follow her, and help her save the town (and the known world). With luck on their side, and some discarded hockey sticks for good measure, they might just emerge as heroes.

In The Lifters, critically acclaimed author Dave Eggers establishes himself as a storyteller who can entertain and inspire readers of any age.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers was born in Boston in 1970 into a family with four siblings. After the death of his parents in 1991, he moved with his younger brother, of whom he became legal guardian, to California, where he attended Berkeley. An award-winning writer, Eggers has also received several distinctions for his work with communities, notably for his work in Valencia - a non-profit educational project that promotes the linguistic and literary skills of young people aged six to eighteen -; and, more recently, for denouncing the failure of the American administration in the aftermath of Katrina, through his involvement in the Zeitoun case and subsequent account in a book (Quetzal, 2010). Dave Eggers is the founder of the independent record label McSweeney's. He lives with his wife - the writer Vandela Vida - and their two children in the San Francisco Bay Area.
