Dangerous Games

Dangerous Games is a series of 16 exciting hi-lo novels about three young people who create, design, and test video games. Each novel addresses a potentially dangerous situation, such as extreme weather, an exploding volcano, white water rafting, catching a jewel thief. The characters enter the games to test them, experience them in real time, confront the peril that may be inherent in the game, and work together to solve the puzzle in the game before time runs out. Each novel has guiding questions for creative and critical thinking that can be used before and after reading. The series is intended for strong intermediate ELL students and reluctant teenage readers (gr. 6-12), and as additional reading materials gr. 4-5 students.
