Every kid's dream is to be
named Most Valuable Player. But how many ever dream that the game is a race
around the world (no flying allowed) in just 40 days? That's the challenge Adam
Story faces in the Great Global Game. As the player for the *Magellan Voyage
Project, he competes against 23 other players for a four-million-dollar prize!
Of course the trackers in red sweat suits and hoodies with their blowguns and
sleeping darts don't make things easy. Nor does the nefarious Baron von
Sheepsbottom, who will stop at nothing to stop Adam. But it's time to go — the
game's afoot!
This
was a good book because it’s very descriptive and you sort of learn with the
main character. I wouldn’t change anything about this book! Yes, I would
recommend this for a middle schooler if you were into travel/adventure books
because that’s what this is all about.
