This was like a middle grade version of Stranger Things meshed with National Treasure, but without any of the elements that make those things good or fun.
This book has been sitting on my shelves since I was eleven years old and I was never able to make it past chapter one until I reluctantly began listening to the audiobook last night because I wanted to listen to something and it was the only one I had available at the time.
A shame, really. The cover always intrigued me so much as a kid.

I almost didn't finish this one. While the story idea is a good one, the book reads like an adult wrote it for kids, which I find offputting in any MG or YA book.

This book is adorable and I'm so annoyed that I didn't read it when I was younger. I was obsessed with King Arthur/Morgan La Fey and this would have had me bursting with joy. Especially as it's set in MN.
Very fun read. It's like a middle school friendly Raven Boys and I'm all about that.

Meh. I read this because my daughter loved it and thought I would, too. Not so much. There wasn't anything in it that I found offensive, I just didn't much care about the characters or situations.

First book in a fantasy series about a group of friends who play a fantasy card game, and suddenly find that monsters from what they thought was the game's fictional realm are appearing in their town!
