Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel August 2022: Playing By the Book features the book CLICK HERE TO START by Denis Markell

Ted Gerson has spent most of his summer playing video games. So when his great-uncle dies and bequeaths him the all so-called treasure in his overstuffed junk shop of an apartment, Ted explores it like it’s another level to beat. And to his shock, he finds that eccentric Great-Uncle Ted actually has set the place up like a real-life escape-the-room game!

Using his specially honed skills, Ted sets off to win the greatest game he’s ever played, with help from his friends Caleb and Isabel. Ted and his friends work out the mystery one puzzle at a time. But someone dangerous is hot on their heels, and he’s not about to let them get away with the ultimate prize.
