A delightfully sharp novella by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones. Hayley s parents disappeared when she was a baby. Since then, she has been raised and homeschooled by her grandparents. Grandad is overworked and travels a lot; Grandma is much too strict and never lets her meet any children her own age. When Hayley does something wrong she is not quite sure what they pack her off to her aunts in Ireland. To Hayley s shock, her family is much bigger than she thought; to her delight, the children all play what they call the game, where they visit a place called the mythosphere. And while she plays the game, Hayley learns more about her own place in the world than she had ever expected. This original novella by Diana Wynne Jones is sharply funny, fast-paced, and surprising until its very end like all of this acclaimed author s work."
You know how I was obsessed with Diana Wynne Jones and determined to read everything she‘d ever written? Yeah that‘s still a thing lol I LOVED THIS, it really makes me want to start writing again!!
If you enjoy mythology, puzzles, and DWJ's fun and fast style with fantasy, this book is for you. It has become a regular reread because it's quick but so satisfying - I always wish there was more!
