Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Gamerville

83/100
👍 Worth It
Max gets shipped off to a screen-free camp instead of the gaming tournament of his dreams, and what could've been preachy instead turns into a genuinely even-handed story about friendship and finding balance. Critics praised how respectfully it treats both gaming culture and the outdoors, and it handles a bullying subplot with real care — this one's a standout in the batch.
