Game Changer by Neal Shusterman
Mar. 14th, 2021 09:38 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
A searing exploration of the world we live in - and the ones we don’t.
Ash is used to taking hits for his high school football team - but then those hits start pushing him through a succession of universes almost-but-not-really like his own. As small shifts in reality become significant shits in Ash’s own identity, he starts to question the world he thought he knew, as well as the ones he finds himself catapulted into.
For better or worse, the one thing Ash knows is that he’s got to find a way to put everything back.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Neal Shusterman’s YA SF novel is a high concept tale with a QUANTUM LEAP vibe about being a better person, privilege and tackling injustice while also being honest about apathy and wanting a simpler life. It’s slickly written, fast-paced and a smart way of examining current issues without being preachy while also taking traditional high school tropes and stereotypes and using them in a fresh way.
GAME CHANGER was released in the United Kingdom on 11th February 2021. Thanks to Walker Books for the review copy of this book.
