BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
7th grader Lucas Silver is poised to run away from another foster home. Instead, he finds himself, with his only friend Miles, entering Hob and Bogie’s Curiosity Shoppe and agreeing to a game of Champion’s Quest. Jasmine, from Lucas’s class joins them – after she was kicked out of the pool for fighting. The fourth member of their band turns out to be Vanessa, the daughter of their foster parents. What the kids don’t realize is that, from the first roll of the dice, they have been transported to another world – where they really do have to go on a quest and they can’t leave until it is fulfilled. They don’t really know the rules, they don’t really know how to wield their weapons, but if they are very clever and learn how to work together, they might have a chance.
A worthy addition to the subgenre of books about kids interacting with gaming realms.
