Fort and his father are visiting the Lincoln Memorial when terrible forces attack and a giant hand drags his father into the underground. After six months of living in a funk, Fort gets an invitation to a very special school – a government-run school to learn magic from books that were unearthed just about 13 years ago. The leaders of the school don’t seem to want Fort there, setting impossible goals for him, but Fort is not only determined to succeed and also uncover the secrets he knows the school is hiding.
Kudos James Riley for the beginning of another Riley is building a great collection of fantasy staples for any elementary or middle school library. If you have Brandon Mull, you also need James Riley!
