Bookroo's summary

Thirteen-year-old Greg Belmont faces his greatest challenge as his former friend, Edwin, leads an Elven army to hoard the world's magic. With chaos looming, Greg and his friends embark on a perilous journey from Russia's ancient forests to the depths of San Francisco Bay, battling fierce creatures and gaining unexpected allies. As they return to Chicago for a final showdown, the fate of magic hangs in the balance. Can Greg prevent disaster, or will failure strike when it matters most?

From the publisher

Magic and mayhem collide in the final book in the monstrously funny middle-grade trilogy An Epic Series of Failures. The Dawn of Magic has arrived, and thirteen-year-old Greg Belmont and his friends have only a few weeks left to figure out how to keep the modern world from falling into utter chaos. Greg’s former best friend (and current archenemy), Edwin, and his Elven army believe the only way to save the life on earth is to steal the world’s magic supply and keep it only for the Elves. But Greg knows Edwin must be stopped. He and his friends will journey from the ancient forests of Russia to the bottom of the San Francisco Bay–battling plenty of fierce creatures and gaining some surprising new allies along the way–and back to the streets of Chicago for the final battle for the fate of magic on earth. Will Greg and his friends save the world? Or will epic failure strike again when it matters most?
