Set in a world where literature holds the power to change reality, Newbery Games follows the journey of young protagonist Alex, who dreams of winning the prestigious Newbery Medal, a symbol of the highest literary achievement for children's books. However, the path to this honor is unlike any other—contestants must navigate a series of magical and treacherous challenges inspired by past Newbery-winning books.
Alongside a diverse cast of characters, each with their unique literary talents, Alex embarks on an adventure through the fantastical landscapes of stories that have captured the hearts of millions. From the dark forests of The Giver to the bustling streets of Holes, they must solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and outwit competitors who are equally determined to claim the title for themselves.
Throughout the competition, Alex discovers the true meaning of courage, friendship, and the power of stories to shape our world. The book highlights the importance of perseverance, the value of diverse perspectives, and the impact of literature on young minds.
Newbery Games is not just a tale of adventure and competition; it is a homage to the transformative power of children's literature. It encourages readers to explore the stories behind the Newbery Medal and to find their own voice within the world of books.
