Bookroo's summary

Marcus, an agent of the mysterious Library, faces a dire challenge when his friend Theo receives a chilling fortune: his life will end on his fourteenth birthday. As Theo's fate looms and Lu's cousin vanishes, Marcus must unravel the secrets of the Oracle Baz, a fortune-teller who perished in a fire. With their own stories at stake, can Marcus and his friends alter the course of destiny by delving into the past? The clock is ticking, and the future hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

Check out a book and read your future. . . . It’s another page-turning adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author D. J. MacHale! Marcus is an agent of the Library, a place filled with tales that don’t have an ending. Puzzles that won’t be solved until Marcus and his friends step in to finish them. This time it’s their own stories at stake. Theo just visited the Oracle Baz, an old amusement-park machine that spits out fortunes for the cost of a quarter. Fun, right? The only problem is, the oracle’s cheap predictions have been coming true . . . and Theo’s fortune says that life as he knows it will end on his fourteenth birthday! Plus, Lu’s cousin, who also went to the oracle, is missing. Marcus knows where to find help for his friends–the Library. It turns out that the Oracle Baz was a real man who died in a fire long ago. Can a glimpse into the fortune-teller’s past change all their futures?
