Lewis and his friends' vacation near Lake Superior spirals into chaos when they encounter Ishmael Izard, a ruthless sorcerer bent on global vengeance. As the son of the Doomsday clock's creator, Ishmael's power is formidable. Can Lewis and his companions thwart his dark plans, or will they fall to their most dangerous adversary yet? Dive into a thrilling adventure where magic and courage collide, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

When Lewis, his uncle Jonathan, and their friends Rose Rita and Mrs Zimmermann take a trip to a small town near Lake Superior, they expect a pleasant vacation. Instead, they find themselves facing the ghastly Ishmael Izard, son of the fiendish creator of the Doomsday clock that was once hidden in the walls of Uncle Jonathan’s house. Ishmael is a cruel and heartless sorcerer, and he is determined to wreak vengeance on the entire world. Will Lewis and his friends be strong enough to defeat him, or will their fate be decided by their most formidable foe yet? For fans of Goosebumps.
