Description

In this action-packed middle-grade novel from acclaimed author Nathan Luff, video-game fanatic Marcus must face the ultimate challenge: notorious boarding school Bad Grammar.

Bad Grammar, like a prison cell or a shopping centre on Christmas Eve, is a horrific place best avoided. If unlucky enough to serve a sentence at this remote boarding school, forget packing your toothbrush and a spare pair of undies. You’d be better off with your flamethrower and a suit of armour.

When he’s in the world of his favourite video game Dragon Warrior, Marcus is nothing short of a legend. But after his only friend moves away and Marcus is decidedly not crushing things in the real world, his parents decide to enrol him in an outback boarding school for kids who have difficulty fitting in: Bad Grammar.

It’s a place without phones or internet, where days are spent avoiding the wrath of bullies with names like Scarface, and nights are spent attempting to sleep in a hammock. Before long, being a student at Bad Grammar makes Dragon Warrior look tame. Will Marcus be able to level up and survive a school like no other?

The book is also praised for its wit and warrior wisdom, underlining the strength of friendship over online bravado.
