Description

A New York Times bestseller!

For twelve-year-old Emily, the most efficient thing about moving to San Francisco is that it is the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and writer of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the place the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles). Upon her arrival, then again, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an atypical book, which they come to consider is from Griswold himself, and might contain the only copy of his mysterious new game.

Racing against time, Emily and James rush from clue to clue, desperate to determine the name of the game at the heart of Griswold’s new game―before those who attacked Griswold come after them too.

The paperback edition of Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman features a gorgeous, brightened cover and an interview with the creator. This title has Common Core connections.
