Printz Award\n\nBloomsbury is proud to be the global publisher of In Darkness, a stunning tour-de-force set in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. \"Shorty\" is a Haitian boy trapped in the ruins of a hospital when the earth explodes around him. Surrounded by lifeless bodies and growing desperately weak from lack of food and water, death seems imminent. Yet as Shorty waits in darkness for a rescue that may never come, he becomes aware of another presence, one reaching out to him across two hundred years of history. It is the presence of slave and revolutionary leader Toussaint LOuverture, whose life was marred by violence, and whose own end came in darkness. What unites a child of the slums with the man who would shake a troubled country out of slavery? Is it the darkness they share . . . or is it hope?\n\nRaw, harrowing, and peopled with vibrant characters, In Darkness is an extraordinary book about the cruelties of man and nature, and the valiant, ongoing struggle for a countrys very survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118607196213,"sku":"ByrdShop_1599907437","price":29.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781599907437_3d646b70-c5b6-4dba-93de-58c2130c8715.jpg?v=1781246389","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/in-darkness-9781599907437","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
