Synopsis
When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant relative's strange manse . . . well, they should know better than to go, since this is a middle-grade adventure novel. But they go anyway. Why not? Once there, they stumble upon The Game of Sunken Places, a board game that mirrors a greater game in which they have suddenly become players. Soon the boys are dealing with attitudinal trolls, warring kingdoms, and some very starchy britches. Luckily, they have wit, deadpan observation, and a keen sense of adventure on their side., From the bestselling author of "Freed" comes a fantastic middle-grade adventure. When Brian and Gregory arrive at a distant relative's strange manse, they stumble upon a board game and suddenly they became players and must deal with attitudinal trolls and warring kingdoms., When Gregory's weird Uncle Max invites him and a guest to stay at his mansion in Vermont, he chooses his best friend Brian to accompany him. Little does he know that what awaits them is more than Uncle Max's anachronistic ways, sweet cousin Prudence, and stuffy old knickerbockers. The mysterious mansion begs them to explore its rooms and acres of heavily-wooded backyard. They stumble upon a board game called The Game of Sunken Places and are sucked into an alternate reality where their surroundings are transformed into props and game pieces. Spaces reveal themselves one by one and their every move becomes critical to winning. With only five days left to play, can the boys come up with a strategy to overcome all of the obstacles before their time runs out? Evading a shady character named Jack Stimple becomes the least of their worries. Solving the riddle of all riddles is the real challenge-who are they playing against and what is the object of the game? Make way for Gelt the Winnower, Kalgrash the feisty troll, Snarth (an ogre with a sensitive nose), and an elf with an inferiority complex. Toss in some archaic Victorian language, runic dialogue, and alien tongues, and you have a multi-layered fantasy that's complex enough to baffle the average listener but deeply satisfying for those who are patient enough to finish it. M.T. Anderson's novel (Scholastic, 2004) transcends space, time, and reality. A mysterious mansion, ethereal beings, two kingdoms, and a secret game make fine ingredients for a gothic fantasy with a smidgen of mystery. Marc Cashman's seasoned voice sets the mood for the twists and turns that will intrigue listeners.
