The Game With No Name

This is a very well written book that not only children will enjoy but young adults too, if you or your children are into scary histories I would totally recommend this to you.

I saw so much potential in Liam Cunningham’s work for engaging young readers and would love to put this book in the hands of middle grades students. Humor, adventure, and sparking dialogue punctuate the pages.

A great, fun book for children (and adults!) who are fans of Jumanji and board games.
A spooky, well written, humorous adventure which is hard to put down - Loved it!

This book is so so much fun! Just great, and really what I needed. It’s really short, but jam packed with fun.

It is a twist on Jumanji (I say, having only watched the film....is there a book?!!), and it’s a really good one.

Wonderful! My thanks to Netgalley and Books Go Social for the copy

This was such a cool book! Initially I was a bit disappointed that it seemed like it was just going to be another version of Jumanji but the board game aspect was brilliant; I found myself trying to figure out which games were represented on the board. With a good amount of creepiness and thrill and an excellent twist this is definitely a book I’ll be recommending. I just wish it were longer and involved more tasks!

The Game with No Name is s middle grade fantasy novel by L.G. Cunningham.
It's an adventurous but spooky novel that is a milder version of Jumanji where the levels are actually board games, but instead of fun loving games we get games that could kill with pirates and hungry hippos.
Izzy and Noah's relationship is a typical sibling relationship with one child outshining the other, but I loved how the author proved that every child is unique and smart in their own way and that 'smart' doesn't always mean book smart.
I loved it, although you really need to make sure that your kid doesn't get creeped out by it because they may end up never playing a board game ever again just because of what happens. 😅
It's not "ghost scary" but if you're child has an overactive imagination, it might be too much to handle.
But for adults who are looking for something different and refreshing to read, this is it. Yes it is for children but it's still an interesting take on board games with an evil twist AND we even get a plot twist at the end that I didn't see coming....so yes at the end of it all I would highly recommend this and I wouldn't mind if there was a part two with different games involved.

I want to thank BooksGoSocial for a copy of this book to read.

The Game With No Name is a fun and interesting story that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. It is like Jumanji with multiple board games. It is similar to the Goosebumps books series. It has interesting characters and a twist ending.
