(* Publishers Weekly , starred review; ** Kirkus Reviews , starred review).
They just need to run faster than The Angel of Death can fly...
But when they meet and accidentally free a half-demon boy, he suggests paying his debt by leading them to the fabled city of Luz, where no one ever dies--the one place Pesah will be safe.
So Ziva takes her brother and runs away to find doctors who can cure him.
Then Pesah has a vision: The Angel of Death will come for him on Rosh Hashanah, just one month away.
Pesah has lived with leprosy for years, and the twins have spent most of that time working on a cure.
