Amos feels secure in his place as mask wearer in the castle in Berrion. That is, he feels secure until a mysterious girl and several black panthers arrive and the girl demand she undergo a quest to the land of the dead. She performs a ceremony that ends the mask wearer's life. Amos travels to the City of Braha and finds the doors to heaven and hell have been shut, and the city is overflowing with spirits waiting to be judged so they can continue on into the afterlife. Amos must find the Key of Braha to open the doors, but to do so he must come back to life. Can he manage it? And even if he does, what exactly is the Key of Braha?

Opinion: 

This book is a great follow-up to the first Amos Daragon, which I also reviewed. I liked Amos' clever wits when he outsmarted Charon, ferryman of the dead, by promising him double nothing and giving him exactly that -two times nothing! I enjoyed the intricacies of Braha, how it was the same as an ordinary city; judges, ordinary people, thieves, etc., and how it was different because of the giant pyramid in the center. I certainly did not expect the Key of Braha to be edible! Amos is definitely the most clever twelve-year-old I have ever heard of. Anyone who has read the first Amos Daragon - The Mask Wearer - needs to get ahold of book two - it's spectacular!
