A charming and inclusive young adult anthology all about games—from athletic sports to board games to virtual reality—from editor Laura Silverman and an all-star cast of contributors.
“Games of many sorts lead to triumph, tragedy, angst, joy, hookups, and breakups for teens in tales set both on and off the playing field.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A love letter to games and competition.”—The Nerd Daily
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 twenty-sided die.
A Manhunt game is interrupted by a town disappearing before 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. A football star takes a stand in a deeply divided town. And a game of spin the bottle could end a lifelong friendship.
Fifteen stories and fifteen unforgettable experiences that may inspire readers to start up that old game of Settlers of Catan again.
Contributing Authors: Gloria Chao, Sona Charaipotra, Katie Cotugno, Isaac Fitzsimons, Kathleen Glasgow, Kika Hatzopoulou, Shaun David Hutchinson, Kimberly Jones, Gilly Segal, Amanda Joy, Yamile Saied Méndez, Anna Meriano, Nina Moreno, and Kayla Whaley.
