No name means no escape...

Win the game to choose your name and free the players who remain. Twelve-year-old September is determined to choose an adventurous name for herself from the Name Bank - not like all her friends, who are named after flowers or trees. Soon she discovers that she has no choice, unless she can win an ancient and mysterious board game. And every roll of the dice leads her further into danger.

Recommended by Amy Hotz

Amy is a keen children’s book nerd and spends a lot of time reading and reviewing picture books with her toddler, Fenrir. But it’s not all colourful pictures! Her passion is getting kids reading, and her life's mission is to get the right books in the right hands. Ask her for advice or recommend something to her and watch her eyes light up!

When September turns twelve, she receives an invitation to attend four appointments at The Name Bank in order to select an appropriate name. She hopes for something different to her friends, who are all named after flowers or trees. Something a little more adventurous. Unfortunately she has no choice, unless she can win a strange, ancient board game. A series of challenges ensue at the roll of a dice and September must fight to help free the other players who were not so lucky. For fans of Jumanji, this book will pull you in.
