"A fantasy adventure with a twist: coding takes the place of magic. "
New from best-selling author Lee Newbery, this is a fantasy adventure with a twist: coding takes the place of magic, with its young protagonists, experts all in the monster-collecting role-playing game Holomonsters, discovering that they are facing much bigger odds than expected on a trip to the R&D offices.
Central character Newt is ecstatic to win a place at Holomonsters HQ to try out the new version of his favourite game. Things at home have been difficult since his mum left and his dad is clearly worried about money. But he’s shocked when he meets the new holomonsters, which are much bigger, fiercer, and alarmingly more sentient than what he’s used to; and why has the game’s motto changed from ‘Light Up Your Living Room’ to ‘Summon and Conquer’?
Newt needs the help of his friends, human and holograph, to take on the ruthless management team before things get completely and dangerously out of hand. Steeped in the excitement of game-playing, with a great cast of characters, and a thrill-a-minute plot, this will appeal to any young RPG fan or would be fantasy adventurer and is recommended too to fans of the Escape Room series from Christopher Edge.
