The Antidote

“A high-stakes and exciting tale of good versus evil.” Kirkus Reviews For fans of The Lightning Thief, with maladies and medicine instead of mythology.   Alex Revelstoke can see disease. And not just disease—injury, illness, anything wrong with the body. This comes in handy when a classmate silently chokes on a hot dog or when the school janitor suffers a heart attack unclogging a gooey science experiment gone awry. But his newfound gift soon puts him and an unsuspecting world in peril. Throughout time, Revelstokes have waged a battle with ancient evil itself. A man, a being, an essence—the creator of disease. Alex has seen his darkness. He has felt his strength. He does not want to fight. But Alex is the last Revelstoke. The war has just begun.   An urban fantasy for middle grade to adult readers. With her unique perspective as a doctor, mother, and writer, McCormick combines her knowledge of medicine and her storytelling skills to craft a one-of-a-kind adventure about disease, darkness, and deception -- one readers of any age won't be able to put down.
