"If you like books that have a little bit of mysterious and fantasy in them then you will love this book."
#iLoveMG is my continuing series where I share middle grade books recommended by my fifth graders. (Please note that my fifth graders read a wide variety of books across a wide variety of genres, levels, and topics. Do not think that these books are "only" for fifth graders.) For younger readers, #3rdfor3rd for recommendations from when I taught third grade.
My book is called The Gauntlet by Karuna Riazi and the genre is realistic fantasy. The Gauntlet is a book about a girl named Farah and how on her 12 birthday she receives a game called The Gauntlet as a present.
The Gauntlet
Recommended by Anneliese
When she and her friends start to play the game her little brother runs into the room and disappears into the game. Farah and her friends have to go into the game and do two things: Go find her brother. Complete the game without making any mistakes.
I really liked this book because it was like Jumanji (which is a movie about two kids that go into the future and they have to play the game but it always disappears after they move a piece) with a twist. It had a very interesting plot and it would alway leave something out and then answer it but then yet another thing was unexplained. If you like books that have a little bit of mysterious and fantasy in them then you will love this book. I give this book a 4/5 star rating.
