Escape Room
Christopher Edge
The latest mind-blowing novel from award-winning author Christopher Edge, Escape Room is a thrilling adventure that challenges readers to think about what they’ve done to save the world today.
When twelve-year-old Ami arrives at The Escape, she thinks it’s just a game – the ultimate escape room with puzzles and challenges to beat before time runs out. Meeting her teammates, Adjoa, Ibrahim, Oscar and Min, Ami learns from the Host that they have been chosen to save the world and they must work together to find the Answer. But as he locks them inside the first room, they quickly realise this is no ordinary game.
From a cavernous library of dust to an ancient Mayan tomb, a deserted shopping mall stalked by extinct animals to the command module of a spaceship heading to Mars, the perils of The Escape seem endless. Can Ami and her friends find the Answer before it’s too late?

Captain Fenella Fascination 18.08.2025
I really enjoyed this book. I liked all the challenges they faced and reading about how they overcame them. The reason I rated it 4 star was because at the end when Ami is actually not real made it a bit unsatisfactory. I really liked this book and would definitely recommend this to someone else aged 9-11.

Ami, Adjoa, Oscar, Ibrahim and Min went to Escape Room. They were looking for The Answer to save the world. They solved some puzzles ,and in the end, they escaped the room. Ami found out that he had designed the escape room without knowing it. I like the book because the characters were very adventurous. I would strongly recommend it to you.

Principal Diamond Nuggets 10.08.2024
It was amazing and it was for gamers.
Master Merlin Godzilla 08.08.2024
Hard to get a grip off and was a bit strange. However, it was still adventurous and Funny. The ending, however, I could not get a grip of. The book didn’t really make sense, so it was difficult to understand. If you were to read it, make sure you read it once or twice so you can understand it.
Baron Slip Moonlight 01.08.2024
