Currently Reading: Con Quest!

After reading the supernatural mystery The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu, I wanted to read something a little different. So after a quick search through one of my bookcases, I found Con Quest! by Sam Maggs. It's a middle grade story that follows twins Cat and Alex who enter a scavenger hunt at a comic convention. From the description, it feels like this story is going to have a lot of the chaotic energy you find at comic conventions. This seems like it's going to be a fun read.


Book: Con Quest! by Sam Maggs

Description:

Cat and Alex are excited to be at the world’s most popular comics convention―and they’re even more excited to compete in the Quest, a huge scavenger hunt run by their favorite nerdy celebrity. The big prize: a chance to meet him!

The twins ditch their older sister Fi and set off to find geeky clues, tackle nerdy challenges, and cross as many items as possible off their Quest list, which includes volunteering at an Artist Alley booth, gathering cosplayers in enough colors to make a double rainbow, and actually finding something healthy to eat in the convention center!

Can the twins work together even when they disagree on how to compete? Will Fi find Cat and Alex before their parents realize they’re missing? Most importantly, can these ultimate fans complete the ultimate Quest?
