ANOTHER JEKYLL AND HYDE

Dina Nayeri Daniel Nayeri

The third installment of ANOTHER SERIES introduces readers to a modern day "Dr. Jekyll," a wildly popular teen at the Marlowe School named Thomas Goodman-Brown.

The son of a wealthy banker, Thomas has recently lost the girl of his dreams, Belle Faust. He is heartbroken, confused, and somewhat cynical about his new world.

Thomas discovers this when his father finally puts aside his grief for his first wife and marries again.
