In a bold move, he targets three improbable candidates, each new to gaming but possessing unique real-world skills that could form the perfect squad. However, Wyatt soon discovers that building a team requires a unique skill set of its own.

"Look Both Ways meets Seedfolks in this masterful novel from two titans of kid lit that follows a diverse cast of young people whose lives intersect in surprising and hilarious ways over the course of a summer day.
Here’s what’s so cool about the beach. Kids are everywhere! Kids you know, kids you want to know. Wandering from one blanket to another, from one family to another. Somebody’s mom reads a fat summer novel. Somebody’s dad snores with an iPad on his chest. Babies cry. Girls laugh. Frisbee players whoop! Kites in the perfect blue sky.
Some kids bodysurf. Some don’t even like the water. They build sand cities for their friends and sand jails for the grown-ups, and when the tide comes in everything gets washed away.
There’s the other world, where all kids hear is tomorrow, next week, next year. And then there’s the beach, where everything is right now!
Why can’t every day be a day at the beach?
From two-time Newbery honoree Gary D. Schmidt and two-time PEN Award winner Ron Koertge comes a moving and often laugh-out-loud funny middle grade novel about family, friendship, and belonging, told by a group of kids spending a day at the beach. Thoughtful vignettes brilliantly weave together an irresistible tale of tween conflict and connections."
"Three teenagers return from waging revolution in a magical dimension—but someone is missing—in this devastating fantasy fans are calling 'a must read' and 'an instant classic.'
When Matt Westin opens his eyes, he's back on Earth—and seven years younger than when he went to sleep.
For the last seven years, Matt and his sister, Jen, along with friends Carl and Blake, have been in the fantasy world of Cyraveil, revolutionaries fighting to overthrow a dictatorial empire. Now they've suddenly returned to their quiet Oregon suburb, where they're expected to go to high school and act like normal American teenagers.
But after all this time and with the memory of war so fresh in their minds, how can they pretend to be kids again? And how can they settle for routine lives when they've experienced adventure and magic? One thing's for sure: they must keep their time in Cyraveil a secret. Nobody can know what happened to them there. Because one of the four didn't come home . . .
Only the survivors know Blake died back in Cyraveil, and with a missing teenager on the books, two detectives have launched an investigation. Can Matt, Jen, and Carl outsmart the authorities and learn to live as ordinary humans? Or somehow find their way back to the world in which they brought peace to an embattled land?

There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his thirteenth birthday, Diego learns of a special gift he has, a secret that is part of something much bigger. When his father, New Chicago’s top engineer, is taken by the Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and prevent this evil group from disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged."
