Our October 2020 Ages 11-12 Book of the Month

Our Book of the Month pick for readers aged 10 and above this October is Fighting Fantasy: Crystal of Storms. This action-packed, immersive role-playing book sees you as the hero at the heart of the story, exploring uncharted islands, battling raging storms and beastly sea creatures along the way in a bid to save the day. Plus you get to choose your own path and decide your own destiny!

This is the debut novel from Rhianna Pratchett – daughter of beloved OBE author and Carnegie winner Terry Pratchett. Rhianna works primarily as a video game writer, and has won awards for her work on games such as Tomb Raider and Overlord. This makes her the perfect author for the Fighting Fantasy series, which is part story, part game. The choose-your-own-path element of the story means you can read the book a hundred times and still be surprised along the way.

This is great for engaging even the most reluctant of readers, along with allowing you to be part of the story. Although part of the Fighting Fantasy series, this title can be read as a standalone, but provides a great opportunity to move onto the rest of the series if it’s a book you really love.
