Fans of the 39 Clues books will love The Key, the third entry in
Michael Grant's middle-grade Magnificent 12 series. Full of adventure
and wackiness, the Magnificent 12 books are also perfect for readers of
funny, action-filled series like Dan Gutman's Genius Files.
With 21 phobias, Mack MacAvoy is more of a wimpy kid than a hero, but he
is on a quest to defeat the wicked--and crazy, and mean, and
dangerous--Pale Queen before her three-thousand-year banishment ends.
In The Key, Mack must find more of the Magnificent 12, the twelve
twelve-year-olds fated to stop the queen from destroying the world, and
assemble a key--a cheat sheet, really--to a magical language. Along the
way, he'll transform the Loch Ness monster into a gigantic duck, and
transport the Eiffel Tower across the River Seine.
The Key is another fast-paced episode in Michael Grant's bestselling
and hysterical fantasy adventure series.
