Description
Foreword Reviews Magazine (scored 5 out of 5)'A splendid homage to adventure' 'A visual feast'
'Large-hearted'A spirited trio of kid sleuths undertake a classic treasure hunt in J. I. Wagner's Legend of
the Star Runner. Taking its inspiration from video games and cloak-and-dagger mysteries, this story for
middle-grade readers is a visual feast.Lilli's grandfather is facing eviction. With the prospect of a pirate's
treasure guiding them, she and her best friends, Marvin andTimmi, set out to find the loot to rescue him from
his debts. A large-hearted, naïve, and wildly improbable plot delights as the fearless team - led by a
treasure hunter - lands in a series of underground worlds.Several twists and turns hinge on pure luck, timing,
and uncanny perceptions. A reliance on video-game staples, including hidden passageways, trapdoors,
puzzles, maps, and multiple-choice paths, sometimes threatens to turn the book into a high-concept maze.
Still, what the story misses in the depth of its background, the illustrations make up for; they are smart
compositions using chromatic palettes and feature clues. From a cluttered kitchen to the check-in desk at
the Savoy to a wall of keys at an archive, scenes set a distinct mood for the story.The tone is wisely
calibrated; it's neither overly terrifying nor overly lighthearted. The perils the group encounter pose
enough danger to build suspense yet leave room for escape. There's seldom doubt that the kids will prevail,
considering their Holmesian knack for observation; the book's pleasure rests in their citywide ranging that
peels back history to reveal the secrets of a legendary pirate embedded in their midst.A list of fun facts lists
the book's film influences, which include Pirates of the Caribbean, and a section of hints offers insights
written in reverse. With the exuberance of a caper, determined protagonists, and a message steeped in
family legacy, this first in a planned series is a splendid homage to adventure. Reviewed by Karen

Kids' Eyes Off ScreensThis book is designed to also engage today's young video gamers andwater their
taste for books. One of the main reasons for the appeal ofvideo games is a frequent feeling of
accomplishment. This book isdesigned to achieve the same. The 31 concise chapters, each ending witha
puzzle to be solved, provide an equally rewarding experience. Thehigh-quality visuals are another reason

video gaming kids will feel rightat home.Will Girls Like the Book too?My wife and I are proud parents of
our super-cute (no bias here)daugther Emmelie. It was important to me to create a character withLilli, who is
ready to take the lead and make things happen. Who doesn'tcare about what society expects but about
fulfilling her own dreams andambitions.So yes, I created this story with girls in mind. Hopefully, my
daughter(and you too) will love it the way I do.Have fun! Read more See all Editorial Reviews
