Escape Room - by Christopher Edge (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Can Ami and her friends solve the ultimate escape room? Or will they die trying?

When twelve-year-old Ami arrives at The Escape, she thinks it's just a game-the ultimate escape room with puzzles to solve, codes to crack, and challenges to beat before time runs out. But soon after meeting her teammates, Adjoa, Ibrahim, Oscar, and Min, and being locked in the first room, Ami realizes this is no ordinary game.

From a cavernous library of dust to an ancient Mayan tomb, a deserted shopping mall stalked by extinct animals to the command module of a spaceship heading to Mars, the perils of The Escape are real and absolutely deadly. And worse, it becomes clearer and clearer as the game goes on that not everyone on the team is to be trusted. But somehow the group must come together and solve The Escape before it's too late, because they are working not only to find the Answer, but to save the world . . . and humanity depends upon their success.
