«Another Faust» is the young adult fantasy novel by Daniel Nayeri and Dina Nayeri, published by Candlewick Press in paperback (387 pages, in English).
Five children mysteriously disappear in Europe and reappear years later in New York in the care of governess Madame Vileroy, transformed into the Fausts. At the elite Marlowe Academy, each receives an apparently harmless supernatural gift, such as reading minds, stopping time, or seducing with artificial beauty; they soon discover that using these gifts demands an addictive price. This contemporary reimagining of the Faustian pact places teenage ambition in an elite boarding school and gives a satirical twist to school competition.
First instalment of the Nayeris' «Another» series, originally published in 2009. 2010 paperback edition from Candlewick Press, 387 pages.
Aimed at young readers aged 14 and up, especially those seeking urban fantasy, dark retellings, and social satire with morally ambiguous characters.
