(4) 4-6 Magnificent 12 series. Mack fears almost everything, making him an unlikely leader for a band of twelve preteen heroes. However, with his "head bully" bodyguard, Stefan, and cryptic messages from ancient magician Grimluk, Mack jumps into his destiny with a surprisingly level head. Grant's novel boasts loads of humor, but its too-often fourth-wall-breaking results in uneven pacing.
