The Thirteenth Skull (Alfred Kropp Series #3)

by Rick Yancey

Overview

First Alfred Kropp lost-and found-the legendary sword Excalibur. Then he defeated King Paimon, arguably the nastiest of the demons to escape when the Seals of Solomon were stolen. What could be left? Plenty, it turns out. Not only is someone out to kill Alfred, but the very people who have sworn to protect him are now trying to use him for deadly means: creating a superhuman army. Trust and betrayal will clash in terrifying ways as Alfred struggles to hold his enemies at bay, even as he learns the full scope of OIPEPs plans for him.

Editorial Reviews

This action novel delivers its advertised thrills.” —Kirkus Reviews

“With nonstop action, wry humor and enough plot 'zigs' instead of 'zags', this rollicking page-turner is just plain fun.” —VOYA

“A great book for boys, as well as reluctant readers . . . teens will love and won't be able to put down.” —School Library Journal on ALFRED KROPP AND THE SEAL OF SOLOMON

“Like J. K Rowling, first time YA novelist Yancey deftly leavens the heavier plot elements with humor; this story of a big-headed loser is as funny as it is scary.” —Publishers Weekly on THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ALFRED KROPP

“Yancey has hit one out of the park with this original, engaging, sequel-worthy read.” —Kirkus Reviews on THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ALFRED KROPP
