Booklist - 02/01/2024 *Starred Review* Val doesn’t know how to be anyone but herself, and so far, it’s only ever gotten her into trouble. Maybe this year at a new school will be different? With an overactive imagination and a quick temper to match, Val hasn’t always had an easy time at school. But when she ends up as the newest member of the Table Titans and discovers the world of Dungeons & Dragons, things start to finally turn around. Kurtz, the creative force behind the beloved webcomic PvP, crafts a narrative that seamlessly blends wit, endearment, and adventure. The Dungeons & Dragons world becomes a celebration of embracing one's unique, magical self, offering a rallying point for readers of all backgrounds. Kurtz's distinctive art style, characterized by its goofy, fantastical, and endearing qualities, adds an enchanting layer to the narrative, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. This is not just a story but an exploration of the profound impact of genuine friendship, and Val's experiences unfold in a way that echoes the transformative spirit and charm of Stranger Things. Ideal for upper-elementary and middle-school readers seeking a heartfelt and magical journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the celebration of embracing your authentic self. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
