Con Quest! by Sam Maggs

3.0

This book was an interesting read. Twins Cat & Alex are middle school geeks that have set their sights on winning the quest at GeekiCon. Cat is determine to win no matter the cost. However, her twin Alex plays by the rules. The author’s takes the reader on a ride of a fan obsessed with winning and you enjoy the ride until things and events start to get out of control. The books is fasted paced and fun. If the reader has ever been to a Comicon or Star Trek convention they can relate to the main and fringe characters in this book. However, Alex has social anxiety issues due to his autism. It's a little unrealistic the way his character reacts to different stressful situations that he experiences on a number of occasions. It made me question if the author tagged the character with this disability because she could. With the exception of Alex asking his sister about passes to convention Hall M continuously, which any sibling could ask, I'm not sure why the author added this component to the character.
