A rollicking, action-packed adventure of laser tag and fierce sibling
rivalries, Team Chu and the Battle of Blackwood Arena is the first
book in a commercial middle grade fantasy series by Julie C. Dao.
Clip and Sadie Chu couldn't be more different. Popular, athletic Clip
wants to become his school's first seventh-grade soccer captain, while
brainy star student Sadie is determined to prove that she can do
anything her boastful brother can.
They have just one thing in common: they love laser tag. Like, really
love it.
When the Blackwood Gaming Arena comes to town, bringing virtual reality
headsets and state-of-the-art courses, they couldn't be more excited--or
competitive. But then a mysterious figure appears and claims to be a
part of the game, forcing the Chus and their friends to save themselves
from a sinister force lurking inside the simulation. Together, they must
fight their way through epic battlegrounds that will test their speed,
skills, and smarts . . . but will Clip and Sadie learn that they're far
better off working together than competing for the ultimate victory?
