The Headmaster is returning-this time not to control the world, but to destroy it. Summoned by the mysterious Ma Apples, Joe Knight is called back into action, alongside his fearless friend Lily. Their mission: to confront ancient powers and outplay evil on the most dangerous stage yet.

As a strange melody pulls the nation's children toward the sea under the Music Man's hypnotic spell, Joe seeks answers from beyond the grave and within himself. He meets Kilgore Brown, a ghost with warnings, and Theophrastus Bombastus Jones, a cryptic new teacher claiming to be the last good part of the dark alchemist, Slade. But can Jones be trusted, or is he another piece of the Headmaster's twisted game?

Running out of time, Joe stumbles upon a mystery buried in his own home... and the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.

Epic and full of heart, M.L. Fowler's JOE KNIGHT & THE GRAVEYARD SONG is a thrilling conclusion to the Joe Knight series.
