Con Quest! by Sam Maggs
4.0
Con Quest is just super duper cute. It's a must-read for any young nerds in your life.
This book took me about an hour to read. It's pretty short, and it's also just generally fast-paced. Nerdy reluctant readers (and, yes, they can exist) could really take to this one. The plot's constant fun, as siblings Cat, Alex, and Fi work to complete an over the top scavenger hunt at a comic convention. I'm a sucker for a great tropey plot set up, and this totally delivers. For older readers, there's a cute f/f ship for the older sister (14), and for younger readers the twins are focused on the hunt.
Normally I don't like when authors swap the names of obvious franchises, but it worked well for me. Maggs put the work in and swapped so much stuff with such similar but hilarious names that it actually added to the experience.
A great read for younger readers but fun for nerdy adults like me too.
