<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Peter Lerangis's Seven Wonders series will embrace this epic adventure in a rollicking new series by a <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author.</b> <p/> Will Wilder didn't mean to unlock his otherworldly gift. But that is exactly what happens when Will "borrows" a sacred relic believed to protect the town of Perilous Falls for nearly a century. Even though his intentions are good, the impulsive twelve-year-old unwittingly awakens an ancient evil endangering all of Perilous Falls. <p/> As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, it is up to Will to confront a nightmarish enemy and set things right before it is too late. Along with his sweet--if lethal--great-aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of supernatural artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one twelve-year-old boy can change the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"You'll love this wild and thrilling tale. <b>It DOES NOT STOP!</b>" --<b>Dave Barry, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author</b> <p/> "<b>Suspense, adventure, humor, </b> a compelling story, and characters that fired my imagination. <b>Great fun and great frights.</b>" --<b>Dean Koontz, </b> #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/> "[A]n <b>action-packed story</b> of pith helmets and <b>secret passageways, prophecy</b> and skepticism, <b>temptation</b> and wickedness, and the most agile and lethal great-aunt a boy could hope to have."--<b><i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/> "With shades of Indiana Jones and Percy Jackson, Will Wilder's antics are sure to appeal to middle-grade readers looking for the next great adventure." --<b><i>Booklist</i></b> <p/> "Will Wilder is a brand-new, refreshing, entertaining, <b>intrepid young hero</b> who magically combines humor and genuine suspense.
