SCHOOL OF GAMING
I am seeking representation for School of Gaming, a YA science fiction novel complete at 75,000 words and intended as the first in a series.
Around the world, in every “Skool” arcade franchise, a holograph of the mysterious tech icon known as The Principal announces a contest: 7 teens, 7 continents, 7 tests, 1 million-dollar scholarship to the first-ever School of Gaming. When school-hating gamer Bear Barnes, 14, wins a coveted spot in the contest, he sees a way to evade his worst fear: homeschooling by way of expulsion. But the contest turns out to be a series of virtual reality entrance exams – serpentine puzzle games based on the 7 deadly sins – and the intensity threatens to stop Bear’s heart. To prevail, he must apply himself mind, body, and soul. It will take all he’s got to best his foes and allies… especially the infuriating Junjie Wu and the irresistible Lisa Gonzalez.
