Never Too Old to Save the World
Description

Once every generation there is a Chosen One, who will stand between humanity and darkness.
But why is the Chosen One so often a teenager? Why do only children get swept through portals to save the fantastic world on the other side? Whose idea was it to put the fate of the world in the hands of someone without a fully developed prefrontal cortex?
In Never Too Old to Save the World, nineteen authors explore what would happen if the Chosen One were called midlife. What would happen if the Chosen One were:
- a soccer mom
- a cat lady
- a nosy grandmother
- a social worker
- a retiree
- an aging swordmaster?
The Chosen One could be anyone-because when the universe calls, the real question is whether the hero will take up the mantle and answer their midlife calling. Sometimes the world needs a hero who''s already been in the thick of chaos and survived. In those cases, age does matter.
