This new young adult novel is exploding with
dramatic tension and mystery. Secretive characters, challenging rivals, impossible
puzzles and many dark secrets are combined to create an addictive novel, The
Grandest Game.
In an annual game run by Avery Grambs and the four Hawthorne brothers, seven tickets are on offer for the chance of a lifetime.
On
an island of dreams, romance is simmering between characters and lives are at
stake in this deadly game. Daunting choices are made, creating plot twists
until the very last page.
Seven mystery players collide in a ruthless game. Everyone must to play to their strengths and overcome their weaknesses to get to the end.
Players are pushed to the limits and the characters have to
confront their pasts as secrets begin to surface.
This novel is highly recommended, the multiple viewpoints and rich storytelling adding to the strengths of the book. The cliffhanger at the end leaves everyone on edge, and I’m already waiting for the next book in the series to drop.
