The Game (YA)
by Diana Wynn JonesReview by Cathy Green Puffin Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 0142407186 Date: 01 March, 2007 List Price $11.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / You don't have to be familiar with Greek mythology to enjoy Diana Wynne Jones' delightful new novella The Game, but it will help you fully appreciate just how much she's incorporated into her story. From official release/information: Book Description: Hayley's parents disappeared when she was a baby. Since then, she has been raised and home-schooled by her grandparents. Grandad is overworked and travels a lot; Grandma is much too strict and never lets her meet any children her own age. When Hayley does something wrong—she is not quite sure what—they pack her off to her aunts in Ireland. To Hayley's shock, her family is much bigger than she thought; to her delight, the children all play what they call "the game," where they visit a place called "the mythosphere". And while she plays the game, Hayley learns more about her own place in the world than she had ever expected. This original novella by Diana Wynne Jones is sharply funny, fast-paced, and surprising until its very end—like all of this acclaimed author's work. (Source: Puffin)
