The Call (The Magnificent 12 #1) 
And then, one day, something incredibly strange happens to Mack. A three-thousand-year-old man named Grimluk appears in the boys' bathroom to deliver some startling news: Mack is one of the Magnificent Twelve, called the Magnifica in ancient times, whatever that means. An evil force is on its way, and it's up to Mack to track down eleven other twelve-year-olds in order to stop it. He must travel across the world to battle the wicked Pale Queen's dangerous daughter, Ereskigal--also known as Risky. But Risky sounds a little scary, and Mack doesn't want to be a hero. Will he answer the call?
A laugh-out-loud story filled with excitement and magic, "The Magnificent Twelve: The Call" is the first book in bestselling author Michael Grant's hilarious new fantasy adventure series.
The book began with all of Macks phobias and how he was scared of pretty mutch evertthing.

Mack is 12 years old, and he is just a regular kid with a BUNCH of phobias. When he is being attacked by the school bully Stefan, Stefan starts bleeding and Mack saves his life by calling the ambulance. Soon, a three-thousand-year-old man named Grimluk speaks to him in the boy's room and tells Mack that he is the member of the Magnificent Twelve. A Golem will take his place as he goes throughout the world and gathers the rest of the 12 in order to battle the Pale Queen's daughter.I didn't read

lets talk about this book, starting with the opening lines:David MacAvorywhose friends called him Mackwas not an unlikely hero. He was an impossible hero.First, there was the fact that he was only twelve years old. And then there was the fact that he was not especially big, strong, kind, or good-looking.Plus he was scared. Scared of what? Quite a list of things (what follows is a list of things David is afraid ofMG Ninja)So this was not a twelve-year-old youd expect to become one of the greatest
I laughed. It's a wry, middle-grade adventure book that combines bullies with magic, and no one is less heroic than the main characters. I wasn't a fan of penduluming between past and present with two different heroes, especially since I didn't ever connect with the one whose story happened "a really long time ago."I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job lending voices to every character.
This is the first book in a series of I don't know how many books. I only picked it up because I got it free for my Nook app and figured I'd give it a try. After the first scene with the bullies, I was hooked. We have a very unlikely hero, David "Mack" McAvoy who is just average - average looking, average abilities, but he is good at one thing, getting away from bullies. Mack's biggest problem is his phobias. I admit, I liked Mack from the beginning and found him and his sidekick, Stefan, the
Fans of Artemis Fowl and the Percy Jackson series(The Lightning Thief) will enjoy this tale. I loved the almost Monty Pythonesque humor interwoven with the action. A quick fun read that would be a complentary title to read between Harry Potter!

Twelve-year-old Mack MacAvoy suffers from a serious case of mediumness. Medium looks. Medium grades. Medium parents who barely notice him. With a list of phobias that could make anyone crazy, Mack never would have guessed that he is destined for a more-than-medium life.And then, one day, something incredibly strange happens to Mack. A three-thousand-year-old man named Grimluk appears in the boys' bathroom to deliver some startling news: Mack is one of the Magnificent Twelve, called the Magnifica in ancient times, whatever that means. An evil force is on its way, and it's up to Mack to track down eleven other twelve-year-olds in order to stop it.

Although I'm an adult, I can really enjoy some YA books. This one was just ok for me. I never really connected with Mac, the main character or any of the supporting characters. My favorite is the golem as he is funny because he is clueless (and this part reminds me of The Last Starfighter). I don't think I'll be continuing with the series.The book began with all of Macks phobias and how he was scared of pretty mutch evertthing.
