Twelve-year-old Mack MacAvoy is afraid of almost everything. He is shocked to receive a visit from a three-thousand-year-old man named Grimluk, who thinks that Mack is destined to save the world. After learning that he is one of the "Magnificent 12," a group that is called together to stop the Pale Queen from destroying Earth, Mack embarks on a dangerous quest with the help of his former bully, Stefan. Can a boy who fears everything become a hero? What will happen when a Golem (mud man) version of Mack takes his place at home and at school while he is gone?
This adventurous, laugh-out-loud hilarious first book in The Magnificent 12 series will keep readers thoroughly entertained as they root for an underdog of a hero! Chapters that alternate between the present and far-distant past and Golem's notes to Mack explaining everything that happens while Mack is away add humorous layers to the story.
