Game On: 15 Stories of Wins, Losses, and Everything in Between

by Laura Silverman - editor

Synopsis

A charming and inclusive YA anthology all about games - from athletic sports to board games to virtual reality - from editor Laura Silverman and an all-star cast of contributors.

From the slightly fantastical to the utterly real, light, and sweet romance to tales tinged with horror and thrills, Game On is an anthology that spans genre and style. But beneath each story is a loving ode to competition and games perfect for anyone who has ever played a sport or a board game, picked up a video game controller, or rolled a 20-sided die.

A manhunt game is interrupted by a town disappearing beneath the players' eyes. A puzzle-filled scavenger hunt emboldens one college freshman to be brave with the boy she's crushing on. A series of summer nights full of card games leads a boy to fall for a boy who he knows is taken. And a spin the bottle game could end a life-long friendship.

Fifteen stories, and 15 unforgettable experiences that may inspire listeners to start up that Settlers of Catan game again.
