The Key by Michael Grant

4.0

The Magnificent 12 picks back up after a somewhat rocky (in my opinion) second book. This is a series I'm sticking with even though I don't think I've heard anyone else talking about it. A strange occurrence for what appears to be a fairly successful series thus far.

In The Key, the kids need to learn a magical language rather quickly, while Mack's golem still tried to navigate school in Mack's absence. The plot continues to be fairly straightforward, and operates mostly as a fun, simple diversion rather than world-changing events, and that's more than okay.
