Why am I passionate about this?
I’ve been a gamer all of my life and am a teacher of elementary school students. After finding the LitRPG genre I wished to share this with other kids... like the one I had once been. Most parents in the genre push full 200k books on their children with an expectation of found love. While I imagine it works for a few of them, I rather expect that the majority of those attempts end in failure. Kids have their own world and their own sense of humor. I write to them, to inspire them and make them laugh, to make them entertained even as I teach them universal morals and lessons about the world.
Dames' book list on elementary students who love games
Why did Dames love this book?
I would personally recommend Isekai Kids because the characters are an adventurous and entertaining bunch whose antics really speak to children, especially gamers.
Ollie, Jimmy, and Grant activate a magical video game cartridge—and are transported to the land of Otherworld. The characters are realistic in their curiosity and desire to have a fun adventure in a place that is a mix of video game and amusement park with a strong dose of magic. Each of the characters has their own unique personality and approach to solving problems in Otherworld. Ollie is Courageous, Jimmy is Clever, and Grant is Smart as they work their way through the trick, traps, and battles of the Game World.
Overall, it is a tale of teamwork, and an entertaining story of adventure and exploration.
1 author picked Portal to a New World as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Why do we love to play games? Because we are able to explore new worlds, go on adventures, and even come face to face with danger! And since games come with rules, it has to be safe, right?
Olivia Green loves games! She plays them all: Board Games, Table Top RPGs, and of course her favorites: Video Games!
But none of them were "real." That is until she stumbled upon a mysterious game at a garage sale. A game that was far more than any game she had ever played before. This game was magic!
Before she knew it, Olivia…
