Homerooms and Hall Passes by Tom O'Donnell
4.0
Creative, fun, and funny -- O'Donnell came up with a great premise (the reverse of every "D&D party sucked into a fantasy world" story -- this time it's an adventuring party sucked into the real world...of middle school) and follows through on it with energy and panache.
I will admit that would I would REALLY like is to read a similar story with older characters and more interest in the body (a typical roleplaying scenario would involve much more cross-species and cross-gender exploration and shenanigans, aspects which O'Donnell sidesteps). But it's not really fair to impose my specific interests on this book, which I think very much accomplishes what it set out to do.
