About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

The Game of Sunken Places



The Game of Sunken Places by M.T. Anderson

Have you ever read a story about a boy and a girl who visit an eccentric releatives mansion for vacation? oh, Of course you have. Well, M.T. Anderson's Game of Sunken Places is one such book. Thirteen-year-old Gregory Buchanan's uncle Max is very strange, as Gregory is quick to tell his friend Brian Thatz whom he enlists to join him in Vermont.
Brian and Gregory's adventure begins when they find an old board game called The Game of Sunken Places. As it turns out the game is a reality, and the boys must participate and win in order to settle the score in an age-old battle of enchanted spirit -nations.

If you're a fan of Jumanji, The Lord of the Rings, Fablehaven or even Harry Potter this might be something you might enjoy next.

The second book in the series is The Suburb Beyond the Stars.
Check out the trailer - it doesn't look like much at first, but wait for it!
Read On.
