The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman

The Gollywhopper Games
by Jody Feldman

308 pages

Gil Goodson's future happiness depends on winning the Golly Toy & Game Company's ultimate competition. If Gil wins, his dad has promised that the family can move away from all the gossip, false friends, and bad press that have plagued them ever since "The Incident". Inside the toy company's fantastic headquarters, Gil will have to master trivia, solve puzzles, and complete physical stunts—and he'll have to do better than all of the other kids competing.

Oh, and did we mention that Gil's every step—and every mistake—will be broadcast on national television? Hold on tight, because the ride of his life is about to begin!

Legendary by Stephanie Garber

The sequel to Caraval and in the POV of Donatella. I find her a much more fun character than her sister in the first book, and her adventure during this Caraval game has more at stake. Can't wait for book 3 next May!

Rating 3.5/5
