From the publisher

It takes more than magic to make a hero, in the next installment of this hilarious and epic illustrated series. One not-so-chosen champion and his mystical friends must cross the multiverse and harness a dangerous power to defeat a mysterious new enemy. “My favorite new fantasy series.”–Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Last Kids on Earth series After leveling up from basement roleplaying games to saving an entire magical realm, 12-year-old Ben is fed up with returning to his ordinary life of homework and chores. So when his very un-magical LARP session is crashed by monstrous frog-men from another dimension, he can’t wait to get back into hero mode. Someone is after all the Spellbinder’s books, which grant the users – including Ben – epic reality-shifting powers. Ben, Niara, Merv, Drake, and their new friend Agnes must embark on an epic quest to save the books and their owners. Best. Spring Break. Ever. But as his friends fight for the fate of the universe, Ben struggles with what it means to be an ordinary kid among extraordinary heroes. Sure, he has his Spellbinder book, but all magic comes with a cost. With a Big Bad on their tail (and minions close behind), the gang will go back to where the story began in hopes of writing a better ending.
