Demon slayer

It has been six months since Max's mother was taken by demons, and by now seven redheaded women are missing, so when a substitute teacher shows up at his school, wearing a necklace with a lock of his mother's hair, Max hopes that this is finally the break that he needs.

In the four months since his mother was taken by demons, Max has been studying and perfecting a means of killing them with a slingshot, witch hazel, and an arcade token with a sunburst emblem--but now other women have been disappearing and finding out what the demons are up to has become a matter of increasing urgency.

"In an epic confrontation, Tanjiro and his fellow Demon Slayers have fought on through the night, suffering terrible losses against the King of Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji. Dawn is breaking soon, and if they can keep Muzan at bay just a little longer, it will be the end of the centuries-long struggle. But Muzan, who will stop at nothing to destroy the Demon Slayers, unleashes his most terrible powers. If he can't defeat the Demon Slayers, he may be able to cause them to destroy themselves from within. All fates and destinies will be decided as the sun begins to rise"--Provided by publisher.

"The battle against the powerful sibling demons Gyutaro and Daki is not going well. Although finally able to fight alongside Tanjiro against the monsters, Zenitsu, Inosuke and even the Hashira Tengen Uzui may all be overwhelmed. Battling even one of Lord Muzan's Twelve Kizuki is hard enough--can Tanjiro face two of them alone?"--Back cover.

"Old Mrs. Jenkins calls the police to report a strange creature she's trapped. But Max is convinced she's caught a demon. He and Poe arrive before the police, hoping to get information about Max's missing mom. Will the demon reveal all, or just leave Max with more questions?"--Back cover.

A clever crow leads Max to the underground site where his mother and the other kidnapped women are being kept, alive but asleep, behind a glass wall--then when he returns to the surface and is set upon by demons, the crow comes to his rescue, a new ally in his war.
