If you're looking for an exciting book your kids will love to read, but also teach them anxiety coping strategies . . . this is it!

Monsters are invading - demons, gargoyles, and gremlins . . . oh my!

Cameron Poole has a problem, a big problem: he's a bully magnet who struggles with anxiety. Being the smallest sixth-grader at his summer camp, everything around him triggers his anxiety, his Beast, making it impossible for him to do the same things other kids can do. In a constant state of worry, Cameron feels like a perpetual failure. That's bad enough, but when Cameron learns that mythical monsters are trying to invade his camp, things go from bad to worse.

Malphas, the Demon Lord from a parallel world called Agartha, wants to bring his monster army to Camp Pontchartrain and begin his invasion. But before he can bring the biggest and most lethal monsters to Earth, he must find the seven Skull Keys that will keep the gateway between open forever. Cameron and his unusual collection of friends are chosen to stop Malphas from finding the Skull Keys. But the Demon Lord of Agartha has other plans. He sends mythical creatures to Earth, gremlins, imps, gargoyles . . . to find the keys and destroy anyone in their way.

In order to stop the Malphas and his monster army from getting all the Skull Keys, Cameron must face his worst nightmares while trying to keep his friends safe. But when he learns Malphas's real plan, Cameron's blood runs cold with fear. Can Cameron control his anxiety and confront his Beast while battling an army of minotaurs, banshees, ghouls, golems, and other nightmarish monsters?

Buckle up and get ready for a thrilling adventure!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

New York Times bestselling author Mark Cheverton grew up in Southern California, going through high school and college. After college, Mark taught high school Physics and Math for many years. While teaching, he earned a Master's degree in Physics and conducted research on planetary atmospherics. After moving to the east coast, he started doing research for a Fortune 100 company in the fields of machine vision and additive manufacturing. While working as a researcher, he self-published his first MINECRAFT-inspired novel, "Invasion of the Overworld," in 2013, a novel also inspired by his son. He didn't really expect the book to be significant, but when it reached #29 on Amazon's Top 100, the publishers started calling; Mark knew he'd struck a nerve with kids. After 10 years, Mark has written 26 novels, many of which appear on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestsellers lists. They've been published in 31 countries, translated into 27 languages, and over 2 million copies have been sold worldwide. Currently, Mark is working on a middle-grade fantasy series called The Order of the Stones series. Book 1, "Facing the Beast Within," will be published in September 2023, with Book 2, "Cameron and the Shadow-wraiths," being released in 2024.
