(4) 4-6 In Mebus's fantasy world, Mannahatta, such historical figures as Peter Stuyvesant and Frederick Douglass are elevated to gods interacting with a panoply of fictional characters. Amidst this setting, modern-day kids Rory and Bridget, among the few who can see the spirit city, must free the Munsee Indians from imprisonment in Central Park. The premise is compelling, but the execution is confusing.
