Mack and the Magnifica have less than thirty days to round up the rest of the Magnificent Twelve and defeat the Pale Queen and her evil daughter, Risky. But before they can do that, they must somehow convince the traitor, Valin, to ditch Paddy Nine Iron Trout and swim over to the good side. Because without Valin, the Magnificent Twelve are just the Magnificent Eleven. And let’s face it: Eleven sucks. Twelve rocks.

If they can reel in Valin, will their Vargran skills be enough to outwit the evil queen and princess?

Mack’s hilarious adventures continue in this fourth and final installment in Michael Grant’s the Magnificent 12 series.

Until the 3,000-year-old man appeared in the boys' room, middle-schooler Mack MacAvoy had resigned himself to leading a middling, unexceptional life. That was before the ancient bathroom crasher identified Mack as one of The Magnificent Twelve, a group of talented 12-year-olds who have been empowered the save the world. Before they can do that, however, Mack must track down these other special children and prepare to do battle. Then all he has to do is get to Australia, face an army of deadly elves, and fight the undefeatable Ereskigal. Oh - and hope his parents don't figure out they're living with a shape-shifting creature called a golem instead of their son. Piece of cake, right?
