As someone who enjoys roleplaying games and laughter, this book was exactly what I needed. In Dungeon Crawler Carl, humanity is forced into a giant, life and death, for real RPG. It's horrible but absurdly funny at once. I recommend that you listen to this as an audio book for a next level experience. I read a lot of books for kids, but this, despite the humor, is for an adult audience.
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.
In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.
The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.
A middle grade novel that brings to life the legends of the Hawaiian people in a contemporary setting. Lei and the Fire Goddess is a fast-paced adventure featuring a heroine, Lei, who is very much a modern American girl. In order to save her friend's life, Lei must learn to embrace her Hawaiian culture. The first of what is currently a two-book series.
Summer vacation before seventh grade should be awesome. Instead, Dotty Morgan's favorite clothes don't fit; her mother constantly embarrasses her with bra-talk; and she's growing in places she would rather not. She can't even talk about it with her girlfriend, Hannah, who is tall and slender and has never had to stretch a shirt until threads popped to squeeze into it.
What is a twelve-year-old supernatural sleuth to do? Find a mystery, of course.
Her BFF, Parker, is competing in a young designer fashion show in Greensboro, the prelude to Fashion Week.

Worse, someone put them in the theater on purpose. Sabotage!
Who is sabotaging Fashion Week? And why? And how does one wrangle a gang of angry gremlins? Can Dotty solve The Case of the Greensboro Gremlins before Fashion Week is ruined and come to terms with the changes she's going through?
