The Awful Solstice
(2023)(The fourth book in the Centerville Chronicles series)
A novel by Bonnie Ramthun
The exciting conclusion to The Centerville Chronicles is here…
The Awful Solstice is just a few days away. Ray doesn’t know if he’s ready to be the Shining One, but he’s determined to try. For a kid whose biggest worry used to be trying out for the baseball team, it still seems crazy to be carrying the fate of the world on his shoulders.
But now Ray has new allies – which would be great, except all of them have their own ideas about what he’s supposed to do. Between strange prophecies and self-important secret societies, everyone wants to tell Ray how he’s supposed to behave.
Worst of all, these new allies keep herding Ray and Clancy, his best friend, from one catastrophe to another
The final battle is almost here. The forces of evil hold all the cards – they’ve got gods, monsters, legends, and the nastiest sorcerer who’s ever cast a curse.
And Ray knows that only he can make the choice that will decide the fate of the world. Ray never asked to be The Shining One. But he’ll see it through his way – or die trying.
Genre: Children's Fiction
