“I SWEAR NOT TO SAY
A WORD ABOUT WHAT WE DO
IN THIS GAME TO ANYONE
OUTSIDE…”
Hayley’s parents disappeared when she was a baby.
Since then, she has been raised and homeschooled by her
grandparents. Grandad is overworked and travels a lot;
Grandma is much too strict, and never lets her meet any
children her own age. When Hayley does something
wrong— she is not quite sure what—-her grandmother
packs her off to her aunts in Ireland. To Hayley’s shock,
her family is much bigger than she thought; to her
delight, the children all play what they call “the game,”
where they visit a place called “the mythosphere.” And
while she plays the game, Hayley learns more about her
 own place in the world than she could have expected.
This original novella by Diana Wynne Jones is sharply
funny, fast-paced, and surprising until its very end—like
all of the acclaimed author’s work.
