Description
Saskatchewan Book Award -Shortlisted
Strategy is everything when it comes to gaming - and girls.
Zach is used to living in a world of legendary battles, epic journeys, and life-or-death situations. As a gamer, he is hard-wired for adventure, even though it's from the comfort of his parents' couch. But nothing has prepared him for battling the biggest storm in Saskatchewan's history while trapped in the local mall.
On top of everything, Zach has finally met the girl of his dreams, but he finds himself helping everyone else stay safe while his best friend spends time with her. What Zach doesn't realize is that love always finds its way when you've found the right person and are ready to risk it all to save the day.
