Allie Argos, her parents long ago imprisoned, has grown up under the dubious care of her nasty foster mother, Oda Friendly, and her horrible sons, in Baltimores crumbling, long ago abandoned, and somehow ever-shifting Greaser Hotel. The arrival of the hotels owner, ageless capitalist Marvin Greaser, prompts Allies closest friend, the magical and somehow talking cat Jerome, to engineer her escape. The first of a planned trilogy, award-winning young adult author J Scott Fuquas urban fantasy is a thrilling and surreal adventure, bolstered by 115 remarkable and vivid illustrations.
