This is a story about vigilantes and magic. About prophecy and hope. About a boy and his hotel. When twelve-year-old Peter Constantine wakes up in the Crown Hotel with a new identity, life is over as he knows it. But perhaps that's not such a bad thing... A dangerous man Peter only knows as "The Client" is after his family, so they've relocated to New York City. With help from unlikely friends living at the glamorous hotel, including the ghost on the tenth floor, life begins again. However, Peter soon learns of a plot to destroy his new home, a plot only the Phantom can foil. Peter and the Crown is the first book in the Phantom of New York series, an adventure for readers aged ten and up. If you like smart, funny characters and "can't put it down" escapades, then you'll love Alan Janney's Phantom of New York series. Grab a copy of book one today
