The Guardians powers are put to the ultimate test in their final battle in this conclusion to the epic chapter book series from William Joyce.
When we last saw the Guardians, they were celebrating their victory during Bright Night, the final great Battle of the Moon, where they defeated Pitch once and for all. Or so they thought. Now, many years later, the Guardians have settled into their final selves, embracing their public images and the Earth Holidays. But the world has not been without evil since Pitchs imprisonment. First there was the World War, then The Crash which has led to what the humans call a Great Depression. All the Guardians feel the weight of these events, but Jack Frostnow half human, half of his former self Nightlightfeels it the most.
Jacks transition from Nightlight to Guardian was not an easy one. Always inclined to keep to himself, Jack has become especially isolated from the other Guardians since his transformation. Yet it is Jack who Ombric Shalazar (once a great wizard, now known as Father Time) trusts with a tremendous secret. But for Jack to fully understand this secret, he must revisit his pastand finally tell his story.
Jacks story, however, isnt the only one to be reopened; an old enemy whose chapter we thought closed will reappear and with him bring a darkness and destruction that will test the Guardians like never before. Its a battle of superlativesthe worse fighting the greatest, but where, oh where, is Jack
William Joyce does a lot of stuff but childrens books are his true bailiwick (The Guardians series,Dinosaur Bob series,George Shrinks, and the #1New York TimesbestsellingThe Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which is also his Academy Awardwinning short film, to name a few). He lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. Talk to William Joyce and see upcoming work at @HeyBillJoyce on Twitter and Instagram.
