Danny Patton is in trouble again-for all the right reasons... at least, that's what he tells himself.
When Danny discovers his family has been chosen to lead a daring expedition deep beneath New York City's impossibly old subway system, he can't help but intervene. Determined to keep the journey from derailing, he secretly builds an invention of his own-one that might just change everything.
What begins as an innocuous mission to decode the hidden messages woven into vibrant, wildstyle graffiti scattered through abandoned stations quickly spirals into a pulse-pounding adventure through the city's buried past. But the tunnels hold more than forgotten history. Unseen forces are gathering below, drawn together by a mysterious purpose: to blur the line between the living world and whatever lies beyond it.
As clues from an anonymous street artist point toward ancient African sciences and long-guarded knowledge, the stakes rise with every step underground. Time is running out. The system is on the brink. And the truth may be more dangerous than anything the Patton family has faced before.
Will they uncover the secret before it all collapses?
The Light On The Other Side is the electrifying second installment in Lee's Impractical Machine Shop Series-a genre-bending journey through Egyptian mythology, fantasy, and Black American history, where curiosity sparks danger and invention might be the only way out.
