The Gauntlet by Karuna Riazi
3.0
3.5 stars
A fun adventure story of three friends who get pulled in to a Jumanji-like Bangladeshi game called The Gauntlet, who must win the challenges to save a little brother and destroy the game once and for all.
I wanted the puzzles to be a bit more challenging, and the side characters to be fleshed out more thoroughly. For these reasons I would be more likely to recommend it to a younger middle-grade reader, probably 3rd-5th grades.
