Praise for HOMEROOMS AND HALL PASSES: &#8220What could be more treacherous than the realm of Briandalor, with its barbarians, wizards, warriors, assassins, and thieves? How about a modern middle school? You can’t help falling in love with this hilarious upside-down take on Dungeons and Dragons. I read; I cheered; I laughed out loud.” — Gordon KormanPraise for HOMEROOMS AND HALL PASSES: &#8220Played out with impeccable, hilarious logic, the plot leads up an adventuresome learning curve to a brisk battle in a local mall with animated mannequins, a really high-stakes duel involving the evocatively named phone game Oink Pop, and a final realization that Bríandalör’s dangers, lore, glittering treasures, and opportunities for daring exploits seem a bit pale next to those of . . . exotic suburbia.” — ALA Booklist (starred review)Praise for HOMEROOMS AND HALL PASSES: &#8220Each adventurer learns a different lesson and grows through their humorous attempts at embodying their game personas.
