Thirteen Days to Midnight

“This page-turner is a natural choice for reluctant readers and fans of both adventure stories and supernatural thrillers.” —School Library Journal

From the New York Times–bestselling author of the Land of Elyon series

“Like the very best comic books and the finest of science fiction, Thirteen Days to Midnight uses superpowers as a vehicle to look at love, sacrifice, life and death. A wise, thrilling, dark and moving story full of unexpected revelations, teeth-chattering action and something deeper and more mystical than mere romance: true love. Brilliant!” —New York Times–Bestselling Author Michael Grant

You are indestructible.

Three whispered words transfer an astonishing power to Jacob Fielding that changes everything. At first, Jacob is hesitant to use the power, unsure of its implications. But there's something addictive about testing the limits of fear.

Then Ophelia James, the beautiful and daring new girl in town, suggests that they use the power to do good, to save others. But with every heroic act, the power grows into the specter of a curse. How to decide who lives and who dies?

In this nail-biting novel of mystery and dark intrigue, Jacob must walk the razor thin line between right and wrong, good and evil, and life and death. And time is running out. Because the Grim Reaper doesn't disappear. . . . He catches up.

“You won't forget reading about Jacob and Oh, and how they try to cheat death. Patrick Carman is really, really good.” —James Patterson
