Review by Horn Book Review

Twelve-year-old Derek and his friends are thrilled to test a pre-production video game. Competition with mysterious "super-genius" gamer El Cid, looming state-wide tests, struggles with reading, and worry over his jobless father distract Derek; ultimately Derek's love of drawing gives him a tool for conquering the high-stakes tests. A fast-moving plot, cartoon marginalia, and sympathetic characters offer something for everyone. (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
