Alternate title:

Alex Wise versus the end of the world

408 p. ; 22 cm.

Twelve-year-old Alex leads the charge against the forces of evil as he tries to stop the Four Horsemen from taking over the world.

Alex Wise feels like his world is ending. His best friend is leaving for the summer, his former friend and maybe sort-of crush hasn't spoken to him since he ditched Alex on the first day of sixth grade; and now Alex's mom is sending him and his annoying younger sister, Mags, on a cruise with their dad, who abandoned them. Then there's the creepy shadow monster that may or may not be stalking him. But none of that could prepare Alex for the actual end of the world. Too bad that's exactly what's coming, after the definitely real Shadow Man kidnaps Mags and she is possessed by the ancient spirit of Death -- one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Now it's Alex (equipped with mysterious new powers) and his friends versus the otherwordly threats of Death, Pestilence, Famine, and War. Just your average summer vacation. Aex is more used to being left behind than to leading the way, but now he's the oly one who can save his sister -- and the world. That is, if he can unlock his new powers and see himself as the hero he is.
