The Call by Michael Grant is the first book in the Magnificent 12 series.David "Mack" MacAvoy is twelve. He is not what anyone would think of as a hero. In fact, he is scared of many things.
Then one day it is revealed to him that he is one of the Magnifica - whatever that means. It is all very cryptic in Mack's opinion.
A golem is sent to replace him so it does not appear that he is missing as he goes off to find the other 11 Magnifica and stop an ancient evil that is about to be let loose on the world.
Grant has created written a great beginning to the series. The Call is adventurous, fast-paced and hilarious. I laughed out loud many times while reading this book. Book two is due out in the fall of 2011.
