Ready to get your Mag 12 on? Here’s your fourth character and clue:

Post #4: Jarrah Major
The last thing you can call Jarrah Major is a girly-girl. She wears her blonde hair in a pony-tail, drinks her coffee in one long gulp, and will never say no to some good old-fashioned physical work. She has strong shoulders, a direct gaze, and an unnerving way of saying exactly what she means. She’s also a bit of a dare-devil. There’s nothing she likes more than flying through the air in a dune buggy, making every single one of her bones rattle inside her. This makes her pretty much the opposite of Mack in every way, except that they are both part of The Magnificent Twelve, something they figured out during a particularly eventful trip to Australia’s famous Uluru in THE CALL. In THE TRAP, this Australian thrill-seeker is off on another adventure with Mack, looking for the rest of the Twelve . . . and trying to avoid getting killed by Princess Risky.

Clue: THE TRAP location #4: This location is an ancient distinctive rock formation in Germany. It’s sort of like the German equivalent of Uluru, which you might remember from BOOK 1: THE CALL. Giant rocks. Gotta love ’em.

And just in case you missed the first three clues, we’ll fill you in:

Clue: THE TRAP location #1: If you’re in Beijing, China and craving deep-fried crickets, centipedes, and lizards for dinner, this is the place to go. Hint: it’s not McDonald’s!

Clue: THE TRAP location #2: With 9,999 rooms, this is the world’s largest surviving palace complex. For 9,999 bonus points, memorize a map of this place. (Note: We lied—there aren’t any bonus points. But if you still want to memorize a map of 9,999 rooms . . . you’re crazy.)

Clue: THE TRAP location #3: People say you can see this Chinese monument from space. We’ve never been to space, so we can’t say for sure if that’s true, but it’s definitely HUGE. For a bonus point, build a model of this monument out of 1 million Popsicle sticks. (Note: We lied again. No bonus points. But we’ll help you eat Popsicles if you want.)
