Michael Grant, author of the New York Times bestselling Gone books, shows his funny side in this fantasy-adventure series, which concludes with this fourth book. Monty Python-like humor makes the Magnificent 12 perfect for fans of funny, action-filled series like Dan Gutman's Genius Files. The characters travel across the world, which also makes this series a great pick for readers and teachers with an interest in geography. In The Magnificent 12: The Power, time is running out for Mack MacAvoy and the Magnificent Twel--er--Seven! In just a few short days, the Pale Queen will emerge from her earthly prison to destroy the world. If Mack and the Magnificent Twel--er--Seven can convince the traitor Valin to switch sides, and then assemble the other four Magnifica, the Pale Queen won't stand a chance. It will all be over! Maybe.
