Valeria Winters is hoping to make a fresh start at a new school. Her mother has made her promise not to get into any more fights. She has a terrible first day of school until she is asked to join the Table Titans, the Dungeons and Dragons club. The club may not last long unless Val and her new friends can save it, which is not easy since there's a girl who seems out for revenge. 

This is a fabulous book about fitting in and friendship and the power of role-play. I love seeing Dungeons and Dragons featured in a story, and with the popularity of D&D at my school, the book should be a welcome addition. The art is bright and colorful and helps tell the story. Go Table Titans! Culture and race isn't specified, but there is a variety of skin colors in the art.
