Game of Clones: The Clone Chronicles #3 by M.E. Castle
3.0
Game of Clones is perfect tween hilarity. Children ages 9-12 will enjoy this mix of realistic fiction, science fiction, and humor that makes up this third book in the Clone Chronicles series. There is enough adventure to make each chapter race by and enough humor to make reluctant readers take a second look. Chapters end with cliff hangers and readers will rush on to find out how the issue is resolved. This usually leads to yet another problem, which speeds the plot along.
Interspersed throughout the book are entertaining black and white illustrations that add to the plot. Each illustration describes something that is either funny (attack toaster), or useful (Calculations of estimated odds of hiding places for three). Yes, I spoiled the plot, somewhat. Three is back and deadly as ever!
Fans of adventures, science fiction, middle school humor, and books with text cut by illustrations will enjoy this entire series. This series will work well in public libraries and school media centers. Tweens may also wish to add them to their own personal collections. While each book may stand alone, (there is enough backstory from the previous books to update the reader), the series works best when read in order.
