First Impression:
The cover! Seriously this cover need to be a poster on my wall. I can’t get over how amazing it is. I loved the idea that this was suppose to be a middle grade book similar to ready player one. I didn’t read RPO but this was a really cute book with a lot of video type game action, more escape the room type game which are really cool and sometimes very hard. The synopsis of the book really had me hooked however it really was my love for the cover that made me want to read it and I am glad it did.
The Story:
Lots of mystery with tons of twist. At some points I figured out sort of what was going on but then it gave a little twist to throw me off. I think Middle Grade kids will will enjoy the twists and mysteries in the book .The kids are in a race to find a treasure Ted’s uncle left him and its up to him and his friends to find the clues and escape the rooms.The story wasn’t slow but it did have a few parts that I wish would have gone just a little quicker. The book had a lot of humor also and some great problem solving. I loved how this book made you think.
The Characters:
- Ted ~ The MC, I really enjoyed him and thought he was really funny, very smart and just a fun kid to read.
- Caleb ~ He was really funny too. I actually liked his and how close Ted and him are, they are the perfect best friends.
- Isabel ~ I liked her but they kind of left stuff as a secret with her and I really wanted to know more.
All the characters in the book were fun and it was great to follow along with the story. Even the bad buys are perfect bad guys. Like not to bad but kid friendly bad and it was just very well done.
Final Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. I am hoping there will be a #2 since I really enjoyed being on an adventure with the 3 kids. I think this book is great for all ages and highly recommend if you are looking for a fun book with lots of action, adventure, mystery and gaming.
Time to link up!

I really like the cover as well, Michelle. And I’m so glad that this was a good read for you! I like the sound of the characters and the mystery and twists. I think I may see if our library has this one. I’m thinking my younger daughter would like it! 🙂
See you in 7 days!!!
I agree the cover for this one is awesome, it has that video game feel and there are so many details. I haven’t read Ready Player One, but it’s on my to-read list, I might have to add this one too as it sounds fun! I like the sound of the mystery and the twists! Great review!
Yey! Glad you enjoyed it, and I know what you mean about that cover it’s amazing!
Glad you liked it. I love the cover too and I need to remember to order it for the library. Thanks again for hosting!

It did sound really cute, glad you enjoyed it!
I am glad you all picked it for me, it was a fun read.
I’ve wanted to read this one ever since seeing the cover, glad to hear it’s good. I agree the cover is awesome. I love the idea of the hidden rooms and treasure, and bad guys after them to get there first. Looks like good stuff. 🙂
It’s really cute, I think it might be something you would enjoy! 🙂
This sounds like a great book to have in my collection. Thanks for hosting this meme–I really love it.
It was really cute! I am glad you love it, it’s my favorite 🙂
I didn’t get mine read. 🙁 This was just not a good month. Don’t think I will be doing next month cause not sure how it’s going to go with being a maid to my dad, BEA, etc. UGH
Next month I’m doing my 2016hw book so I don’t have an extra book to read. Figured I might not have a lot of time to read.
This definitely sounds good, Michelle! I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! And yes – some books would be such beautiful posters, too 🙂
When I get a house with an extra room I am totally going to hang book cover posters all over the walls in my own private library! 🙂
I’m glad you liked this one! Hopefully it made up for last month’s fluke. Great review!
Yes it did. MG books always have a way of breaking me from my slump or making me feel better after a DNF 🙂
Glad this won was a winner!! I agree that cover is great. I really enjoyed RPO so I think I might pick this one up. Great review!
Thanks, Grace, it was a lot of fun to read 🙂
