Bookroo's summary

Marcus, an agent of the Library, faces a chilling mystery at a Massachusetts school. With windows shattering and bleachers collapsing, he suspects witchcraft, not bad luck. As the black moon rises, Marcus and his friends must solve the mystery before it's too late. Will they uncover the truth and bring the story to a close?

From the publisher

“I’m not sure anyone does suspense quite like D. J. MacHale.” –James Dashner, bestselling author of the Maze Runner series The next fast-paced, thrilling adventure from bestselling author D. J. MacHale! Marcus is an agent of the Library–a place filled with tales that don’t have endings. Mysteries that won’t be solved until Marcus and his friends Theo and Lu step in to finish them. Before it’s too late. Because mysterious accidents are disturbing a middle school in Massachusetts. Windows shatter for no reason. Bleachers collapse at a pep rally. Most of the students think they’re just having a string of bad luck, but Marcus suspects something a lot more dangerous. Something like witchcraft. When the black moon rises, this story must come to an end . . . one way or another.
