Brooke and Piper and Brooke and Piper:The Room With No Door, are Young Adult, Urban Fantasy novels by George Woideck. They are stories of fear, doubt, friendship, resilience, and resolve set in today's New York City.
Thirteen-year old Brooke Robbins, the daughter of two research scientists, lost her mother in an unexplained laboratory accident months earlier. Brooke attends Public School 444 several blocks from her family's modest apartment on the Upper West Side.
Piper Lewis, newly arrived in the neighborhood, lives with her mother in an apartment near the top of a new luxury high-rise. Piper is a seventh grade student at The Laurels School, an elite private girls school across town on the Upper East Side, near the apartment she shared with her parents before they separated last summer. She is no longer in contact with her father, who travels internationally for business and cannot be reached by text or FaceTime. The girls are troubled by unanswered questions about each absent parent.
Meeting by accident (or was it?) by the costume jewelry bin at Sadie’s Variety Store, they then cross Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and its most famous display, the ancient Egyptian Temple of Dendur, which unlocks adventure, danger and discovery.
