Description

What if your favorite fantasy game characters showed up on your doorstep IRL?

Sixth graders Ralph, Jojo, Noel, Persephone, and Cammi are hooked on fantasy tabletop role-playing games. When they somehow manage to summon their characters to Ralph's house, things take a truly magical turn!

The five are soon racing around town on a wild adventure that tests their both their RPG skills and their friendship. Will Ralph and crew be able to keep their characters out of trouble? Trying to convince a sticky-fingered halfling rogue not to pickpocket or a six-foot-five barbarian woman that you don't always have to solve conflicts with a two-handed broadsword is hard enough. How will they ever send the adventurers back to their mystical realm?

"Epic...for young fans of Stranger Things."--SLJ

"An exciting new adventure exploring friendship... with often humorous commentary on social issues."--Booklist

"Both funny and heartfelt... The Game Masters of Garden Place has as much to offer diehard fans as it does newcomers to fantasy role-playing."--Bulletin
