Lukezilla Beats the Game, by Kurtis Scaletta
4.0
I received an eARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5/4 stars out of 5.
Gamers young and young at heart will appreciate this story dedicated to the love of the online gaming community.
An emotional rollercoaster with a true growth of character, Lucas is endearing and relatable. There is a very important under current to this story, centering on the positives and negatives to any online community, not just the gaming one.
If I had anything negative to say is that unfortunately the vast majority of the other characters were just lacking on the whole. I wanted more from his friendships and interactions on the whole.
But all in all a fantastic middle grade book, that will keep readers rooting for Lukezilla every step of the way.
