It's a fast paced book, and I did find myself wishing we could just stop and appreciate the world we found ourselves in more.

It says in the book that “Our futures are fullof possibility”, “They always have been”. And I really liked that quote. Wonderscape is abook I would recommend to other readers my age.

I thought for a middle grade it was a great additional to bring some educational elements to a fun, adventure book.JB: I watched lots of escape room challenges and played video games to give me ideas. I tried to make sure every challenge tested a different skill – some are physical, others require brainpower and wits. Sometimes, research about a historical figure gave me inspiration. Isaac Newton, for example, used to fold over the corners of his notebook to mark points in the text. That spiked the idea to have a hidden message in his notes that the main characters have to find. In the 25 th century, I-RAGs are the latest and hottest form of entertainment, and HXPERION’s ‘Wonderscape’, in which “wanderers” (i.e. players) complete challenges to win currency, skills and realm-keys, is the most popular of them all.

Gaming and time travel collide in this exhilarating middle-grade adventure, from bestselling author Jennifer Bell. I really liked our main characters, Arthur, Ren and Cecily. Each one of them has something unique that they bring to the team and I really enjoyed seeing them work together to solve puzzles and help each other escape enemies and dangerous situations. I also really liked the beautiful and wholesome friendship that develops between them over the course of their adventures. What I liked in particular about their friendship is how supportive they are of each other and how they are always looking out for each other. I also really liked how inclusive the book is. Throughout the story, we meet different characters and historical figures of various diverse ethnicities, which I thought was really nice. I also appreciated that our main characters were shown to be from very diverse family set-ups. For instance, Arthur lives with his dad, who is taking care of him as a single parent, and Ren has two mums.

This in-reality adventure game uses the latest in technology to allow its users to travel to different realms, completing tasks and challenges to win the honour of meeting famous figures from throughout history. What I found interesting was the Wondercloaks and how it almost does everything for them, for example, translate what people say and it sends danger warnings too.So relaxing. I appreciate the care and uniqueness you put in all of your products. It’s a joy to relax with the textured balls that are fun to roll in the sand. Waves, bubbles and footprints-how perfect." Change of Company Secretary and Director of Registered Non-Hong Kong Company(Appointment/Cessation) I read this book with my 11-year-old, and when we finished, I asked him, "What should I say in my review?" One aspect of the book which I really enjoyed and liked was how there were different realms and in each realm there was a different story each time as well as adding the historical figure as well. Wonderscape is quite honestly one of the most propelling middle-grade books I have read, possibly ever! After putting this book through the CAWPILE rating system (created by Book Roast), it came out at a final score of 8.57, which is a rather high 4 star!
