Three thousand years ago the Pale Queen was banished to the underworld. Now she’s back: meaner, crazier, and more dangerous than ever. Only one thing stands between her and the destruction of the human race—a team of twelve twelve-year-olds. So humanity is basically out of luck. It’s clearly hopeless. Seriously: a bunch of twelve-year-olds versus the greatest evil the world has ever known? Please. No way. Unless . . . unless Mack MacAvoy can assemble and lead the Magnificent Twelve as they discover unsuspected powers. But he’d better to do it quickly because if the Magnificent Twelve don’t win, then the world as we know it will be lost forever. And that would be a bad thing.
THE MAGNIFICENT 12 BOOKS BY MICHAEL GRANT
Book 1: The Call
Mack MacAvoy’s mission is to find the second of the Magnificent Twelve. All he has to do is get to Australia, face an army of deadly elves, and fight an extremely beautiful, extremely evil, extremely powerful, extremely extreme princess. And stop her mother, the Pale Queen, from destroying the world. No pressure at all.
Book 2: The Trap
In thirty-five days, Mack, Jarrah, and Stefan must travel to China and Germany, find the next two members of the Magnificent Twelve, eat some scorpions, fly on some dragons, fight a guitar-playing thunder god, and avoid the mysterious “trap.” Can they do it all and capture the wicked Pale Queen before her three-thousand-year banishment ends? (Apparently, three thousand years isn’t forever. This was learned the hard way.)
