Eden loves an escape room and is very good at them, but can she succeed in The Escape, the ultimate escape room? Following Ami's messages to Eden, she's heading in but things are far more dangerous than she imagines and as she and her teammate, Ted, hunt for the keys to unlock The Escape, Eden begins to realise that this is an escape room she can't stop playing.
I'm a huge fan of Christopher Edge's books and I loved Escape Room (you can read my review here). Christopher is brilliant at combining adventure with science in a way that really engages readers makes them think, and Escape Room Game Zero is no exception: when Eden enters The Escape she quickly meets Ted who instantly believes that Eden is an NPC, a non-player character; something Eden disagrees with. One thing's for certain, they are going to need to work together if they are to survive.
Like book one, Game Zero is an adrenaline rush of an adventure with cliff-hanger chapter endings that mean this is an unputdownable book (I gobbled it up in under a day!). The levels created in the game are vivid and it's easy for readers to believe they are playing alongside Eden and Ted. With dangers and uncertainty everywhere they turn, it really is a fight for survival. But, along the way, Eden has one more problem to deal with for the longer she is in The Escape, the more difficult she finds it to remember anything about her life before she entered.
Publishing 5th May, Escape Room End Game is guaranteed to grip even the most reluctant reader and creates an unforgettable experience. One of the Year 5 classes in school currently has Escape Room as their class novel and they are already excited to get their hands on this thrilling sequel - I know there's going to be a queue at my office door on Monday morning when I take the book into school.
