Con Quest!

I simply loved this book. I did not just love this book because it reminded me of my con life that i missed so much. But i also loved that this book had both twins and also scanvange like experience in this book. You can tell Sam Maggs knows this world super well and def reminded me of a weekend at con. I also really loved the diversity featured in this read. It was such a fun fast pace read and one that put a smile on my face. I also really liked how it did talk about the darker sides of con life and fandom life. If you like books like geekerella, you should pick up this one for sure!

Twins Alex and Cat are on a scavenger hunt called "The Quest" at a San Diego Comicon style convention called "Geekicon." The long list of items must be accomplished during the convention and involves Alex and Cat in many close calls as they try to avoid their sister, Fi, and an overzealous security guard named James M., who believes the con belongs to him and people like him who are "true comic fans." The possible reward for winning is spending a week with the sponsor Corwin Blake, an actor in the series, Paranormal, and the rest of the cast doing charity work as well as a comic art mentorship. Con Quest! is a fun ride through a comic convention where different fandoms are represented using unique names like Whom M.D. instead of Dr. Who and Star Worlds instead of Star Wars. Alex, Cat, and Fi learn lots of lessons about the importance of family and being who you really are. Also, the story includes autistic and same sex relationship representation. Overall, Con Quest! is an exciting adventure that could be enjoyed by con fans at any level.
