Resumen del Editor

"L.G. Cunningham's The Game with No Name is a thrilling adventure for younger readers about a mysterious board game and a family in peril. The premise echoes its famous predecessor, but the story is highly inventive in its own right, with high stakes, chilling frights, and relatable lessons throughout, fronted by two engaging protagonists. The story has a creepy edge that is just right for the age range, and will keep readers turning the pages, as Cunningham is masterful at building and maintaining suspense. Cinematic and vividly written, the book should easily find an audience looking for a middle grade adventure with a slice of the macabre." (The Independent Review of Books)

Izzy Miller has grown out of "family game night". As a mature and sporty 12-year-old, playing boring board games with her family is not her idea of a good time.

But when her brainiac twin Noah discovers an ancient board game and casts the dice, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that freezes time and leaves the twins with a frightening choice - play or never see your family again.

To make it across the board, the Miller twins must face life-threatening (and yet eerily familiar) tasks involving a sweltering jungle swamp, a battleship at sea, and a castle with a mystery murderer on the loose.

Will Izzy regret her lack of board game knowledge? Can she rely on her Einstein-like brother to solve the clues? And what has the grinning skeleton got to do with The Game With No Name?
