A poignant and timely novel about a group of seventh graders who are brought together—and then torn apart—in an afterschool eGaming club.
"An excellent book for young people because it approaches online gaming in a serious and educationally relevant way... The Good War puts gaming in a social context with real-life implications for young people. And the author accomplishes this in a balanced way that shows both the positive aspects of gaming as well as some of the negative ones. I especially liked how the author brings issues of bullying and self-esteem into the story, and shows that gaming can actually enhance the latter." - Claire Shultz
Strasser (The Wave) packs a lot into this brief tale. By using a gaming lens to explore the students’ entrée to prejudice and radicalization, he succeeds in lending immediacy and accessibility to his cautionary tale. - Publishers Weekly
