Book Synopsis

What if your best friend online wasn't who they said they were?

Noah Parker isn't good at school. He's not athletic. And most days, he feels invisible.

But inside Kingdom Forge, everything is different.

There, he's building a fortress in the sky. Winning battles. Leveling up. And for the first time, he has a friend. Jax.

Jax helps him win. Gives him rare gear. Stays online late and always has his back.

At least... that's what Noah thinks. Because the more Noah plays, the more Jax starts taking. Small at first so Noah doesn't notice. Then bigger, until one day, Jax says something that makes Noah's stomach drop.

Kingdom Forge is a fast-paced, middle grade thriller about friendship, trust, and the hidden dangers of the online world and gaming.

Perfect for fans of:

• Diary of a Wimpy Kid (relatable, fast-paced storytelling)
• Ready Player One (immersive game worlds)
• Suspenseful, high-stakes stories kids can't put down

A must-read for kids (and parents who want to talk to their kids about internet safety).
