As the author himself states, \"a book must, above all, teach people to love literature.\" Written for a younger audience than The Book of Lost Things, his previous work published by Bertrand, but just as original, the book features several quotations and subliminal messages throughout the plot. Connolly, known for his magical creativity, once again manages to produce a story unlike any other in its genre. The Gates is a fun and magical tale about an 11-year-old boy who, alongside his two best friends and his dog, must prevent demons from coming from hell from taking over planet Earth. The book's title refers to the doors that open to allow these evil creatures to escape. John Connolly blends fantasy, humor, and science in a captivating story that proves that learning can also be a lot of fun. Every reader will surely enjoy the author's footnotes. \"Demonic and darkly comic, peppered with science, history, and amusing footnotes on everything from St. Thomas Aquinas to quantum theory.\" (Daily Telegraph) \"Shocking!\" (Jeffrey Deaver) \"Connolly has a mind full of fantastical stories.\" (O Estado de S. Paulo)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159442833660,"sku":"9788528617702","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/11646c808170861aff83b22b39699582.jpg?v=1783702048","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/os-portoes-vol-1-as-aventuras-de-samuel-john","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
