These Kurbs owned an Island...with their POWER they controlled both day and night...Years ago, when People first came to the Kurbs' Island, they wanted to build themselves a City. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Kurbs give people light and warmth to establish a city, on one condition: The people must return the Power every year or risk losing the city--forever. This system works for centuries until evil Mr. Underton tries to steal the Power. If he succeeds, the Kurbs will take back the City, reducing it to a dark and frozen tundra. It's up to Carlos and Sarah to find the Power--housed in a subway token--and keep the City safe, despite secrets of Sarah's history that are entwined with the token. What ensues is a race against darkness. A race against the lies of the past. And most of all, a race against time.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Graphix","offers":[{"title":"City of Light, City of Dark | Avi | Paperback | 9780545398800 | Used: Very Good | Children's Graphic Novels 1633780","offer_id":50704632873218,"sku":"1633780","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71w1pVqtxPL.jpg?v=1791637796","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/city-of-light-city-of-dark","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
