James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld: Return of the Goblin Queen (Book 1) Kindle Edition

What's the first thing you do after you wake up one morning and find yourself trapped inside what you believe is your favorite video game?

If you said try and find a way back home, you'd be completely wrong. Especially if you're anything like my friends and me. Instead, you use your game knowledge to finish a few easy quests, get yourself some money for room and board, and then hope a way back home just conveniently falls into your lap.

That is of course until you decide to take on a quest that turns out to be just a little bit out of your league. How little bit you ask? Little bit enough that you end up releasing an ancient goblin queen named Vanika, whose only goal is to take over the world with her army of goblins.

Yeah, looking back on it, it really wasn't one of our better decisions. But hey, it could be worse, right? I mean, I can't think of anything right this second, but I'm pretty sure there's something out there that's way worse than this.But anyway, now we gotta take our extremely worn-out equipment, and barely passable fighting skills, and use them to defeat an entire goblin army, including their magical, super-powered queen before they decide to take over the world. No pressure, right? I mean, how hard can it really be?

I guess there's only one way to find out.

James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld is a middle grade, fantasy adventure series for fans of Percy Jackson, The Last Kids on Earth, and Trapped in a Video Game

"A thrilling fantasy adventure novel for middle-grade children" - Literary Titan

James' Ragtag Adventure in Questworld follows a group of five pals who find themselves stuck in a magical realm. They awaken the Goblin Queen and her army of goblins during an adventure gone wrong! Now they'll need to find backup to battle her wicked majesty. Along the journey, they'll come across fascinating and mystical creatures. Some good, some bad... Are they going to be able to defeat the queen? What is the origin of this mysterious land, and how did they get there? This adventure will have you on the edge of your seat. Follow James and his group of friends as they navigate the exciting world of Questland!

This adventurous book will have readers hooked from the very first sentence. One of the highlights of this story is the solid character development. This novel has a prototypical group of friends. M. Doyle has included the sassy one, the strong one, the brainy one, the shy one, and the leader.These familiar character types and themes will appeal to middle-grade readers as they can relate to the characters' personalities and feel comfortable with the storyline.

M. Doyle has done an excellent job with pacing in this novel. There are pauses throughout, and it gives readers the feeling that they are sitting alongside the gang, resting and getting to know them better. The moments of rest come as a welcome break from the captivating and suspenseful action that the characters encounter in Questland. It seems like they discover new creatures and monsters at every corner and are constantly in danger.

James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld: Return of the Goblin Queen is a thrilling fantasy adventure novel for middle-grade children. This exciting novel takes place in a video game and is a great way to introduce reluctant readers to the fantasy genre and help them become avid readers.

As soon as this book came in, my 11 year old snatched it up and dove in! She was sucked in and couldn't put it down. Here is her review in her own words!

"This book is about 5 kids that get sucked in to their favorite video game, Questworld. They aren't sure how to get home, or if they can even get home! They accidentally release the Goblin Queen. Then have to do multiple quests so they can get money to level up their weapons so they can fight her! My favorite character in this book is Ryry. She is always being over dramatic. She reminds me a lot of myself!! Also, I really liked when they figured out how to use their skills. It was cool to see all the different things they could do! Like James getting better with his sword skills! And Ryry's awesome dagger skills! Overall, I really liked this book because it made me feel like I was sucked in the video game with them!! It was a really cool adventure!! I gave this book 5 stars because THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I can't wait to read the next one! "

My 15 year old son had this to say

"This book is awesome because it gets you hooked right when you see the title. If I were allowed to pick out any book I wanted, I would chose this one! This book connected me with Bently because he does not think, he just acts, and that describes me! Goblins, elves, and dwarfs!!! What is better than getting sucked in to your favorite video game!"

A group of friends end up trapped in a world, part of a video game! What a fun and adventurous story boys especially will love! The group of friends have to figure out how to use the skills of the characters in the game they have become. They are faced with many challenges that they need to overcome, including goblins and the notorious Goblin Queen, Vanika.
My son loved this well-written middle grade novel.

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2021
This book was just too cute not to pass up. The adventure here was easy to follow and fun to read.

I love how the author added a little extra at the back of the book. It gives the readers more depth to whom the characters are.

I highly recommend this one for a weekend read with the kds.

Questworld is a video game in which the main characters get stuck. It's full of adventure, elves, and the bad ancient Queen, Vanika and her army of goblins. In time characters also master their talents. A highly recommended read for young adults who love action and fantasy genre.
