Hardback. Condición: Good. The Narnia for the Social Media Generation.--The Wall Street JournalBy the time of Farley's Game World, gaming had gone digital, and while his book is more fantasy-adventure than puzzle-mystery, there are parallels worthy of discussion, from the nature of the games to the depictions of disabled.--Booklist, included in Conversation Starters: Recontextualizing the ClassicsDrawn from both video gaming culture and the rich tapestry of Jamaican myth and folklore, blending pointed social satire and mystical philosophy, this exuberant, original hero's journey is a real trip.Exhilarating, thought-provoking and one of a kind.--Kirkus ReviewsAdult author/Wall Street Journal editor Farley's middle-grade debut draws from Jamaican mythology and beliefs, as well as from other cultures, to weave a fast-paced, whimsical mixture of magic and action.the setting lends itself well to memorable imagery and a fun experience.--Publishers WeeklyFarley blends video gaming and Jamaican folklore in this intense, fast-paced middle-grade fantasy that is sure to quickly grab readers.--BooklistHere (finally ) is a middle-grade action novel that showcases West Indian mythology and features protagonists of color.--School Library JournalGame World is unique in that its fantasy world, as its name suggests, is built upon characters and stories from actual Jamaican folklore.--Philadelphia Review of BooksOne of This Spring's Hottest Teen Books, Huffington PostI found it very hard to set down this excellent novel and do something else without thinking about it.I highly recommend his book to fans of fantasy. Because you will love it --Middle Shelf (reviewed by Teak, age 13)Farley writes in a straightforward way that is both accessible to younger readers but still interesting to adults.--Persephone MagazineIn his metaphorical world, Farley spares neither the dubious machinations of high finance nor the heartbreak of an orphan.--Center for FictionI highly recommend Game World for kids in 4th-12th grade. Parents can read it too and love the characters and story just as much as the kids.--The Family CoachDylan Rudee's life is an epic fail. He's bullied at school and the aunt who has raised him since he was orphaned as a child just lost her job and their apartment. Dylan's one chance to help his family is the only thing he's good at: video games. The multibillion-dollar company Mee Corp. has announced a televised tournament to find the Game-Changers: the forty-four kids who are the best in the world at playing Xamaica, a role-playing fantasy game that's sweeping the planet. If Dylan can win the top prize, he just might be able to change his life.It turns out that Dylan is the greatest gamer anyone has ever seen, and his skills unlock a real-life fantasy world inside the game. Now actual monsters are trying to kill him, and he is swept up into an adventure along with his too-tall genius sister Emma, his hacker best friend Eli, and Ines Mee, the privileged daughter of Mee Corp.'s mysterious CEO and chief inventor. Along the way they encounter Nestuh, a giant spider who can spin a story but not a web; Baron Zonip, a hummingbird king who rules a wildly wealthy treetop kingdom; and an enchantress named Nanni who, with her shadow army, may be bent on conquering Xamaica and stealing its magic.In order to save his sister and his friends, Dylan must solve a dangerous mystery in three days and uncover secrets about Xamaica, his family, and himself.

Hardback. Condición: Good. "Electrifying and smart, Who Knows You By Heart is part thriller, part prophecy, part gift and all the way live."--Junot Diaz "Scintillates with light and warmth.And it's hilariously funny. The view of Big Tech through Olivia the coder's eyes is delicious. I absolutely loved this book." --Alison Bechdel Part social thriller, part modern love story, Who Knows You by Heart is a sly, witty, and endlessly discussable tale of Big Tech, new money, relationships, race, and discovering what's real in an age of artificial intelligence. Octavia Crenshaw, a Jamaican-American coder living in Manhattan, is broke, burned out, and haunted by her parents' deaths. Desperate to pay off some debts, she ditches her nonprofit job for a high-paying gig at Eustachian Inc., a Big Tech company that specializes in audio entertainment. Language, communication, human connection--these are the markets Eustachian wants to revolutionize.and dominate. Octavia finds herself swept up in the world of the Tech Titans, with its lure of instant riches and its seemingly limitless future. But as one of Eustachian's very few Black employees, Octavia is uncomfortably aware of things that seem to escape her coworkers: unexplained tech glitches, cryptic remarks, a mysterious secret floor in the corporation's gleaming headquarters. But she sets her suspicions aside when she's recruited by another Black coder--the infuriating but attractive Walcott--to collaborate on a secret project code-named Zion. Zion is a new kind of AI-powered storytelling, one that's programmed to be free from the racist and sexist biases that plague other AI products. Zion could launch Eustachian into a bold new future and make its developers super rich while righting all kinds of injustices. Octavia and Walcott's excitement over their creation sets off romantic sparks between the two of them, until they discover a toxic secret about their employer--something that they can't unlearn, or overlook, but must overcome.…
