GAME ON

GAME ON is editor Laura Silverman's action-filled YA anthology all about games, from athletic sports to Dungeons and Dragons to truth or dare. From romance to adventure, fifteen authors cover the gamut of competition from the light-hearted to the completely serious.

From the slightly fantastical to the utterly real, light and sweet romance to tales tinged with horror and thrills, Game On is an anthology that spans genre and style. But beneath each story is a loving ode to competition and games perfect for anyone who has ever played a sport or a board game, picked up a video game controller, or rolled a twenty-sided die. A manhunt game is interrupted by a town disappearing beneath the players' eyes. A puzzle-filled scavenger hunt emboldens one college freshman to be brave with the boy she's crushing on. A series of summer nights full of card games leads a boy to fall for a boy who he knows is taken. And a spin the bottle game that could end a life-long friendship. The list of incredible contributors includes: Gloria Chao, Sona Charaipotra, Kiki Chatzopoulou, Katie Cotugno, Isaac Fitzsimons, Kathleen Glasgow, Shaun David Hutchinson, Kimberly Jones & Gilly Segal, Amanda Joy, Yamile Méndez, Anna Meriano, Nina Moreno, Kayla Whaley, and Francesca Zappia.
