When Riley Singh unwittingly offends a multiversal sorcerer, he and his friends are whisked into a freaky new reality in this hilarious middle grade fantasy adventure-perfect for fans of Dungeoneer Adventures and Once Upon a Tim. Seventh grader Riley Singh is a smart kid-smart enough to know that he could be an exceptional student in school if he wasn't always playing Dungeon Brawl: a role-playing game where he and his friends embark on radical adventures to slay demon lords and rescue the occasional village. The only problem is that Doomface, the villain of their newest adventure, is listening in on their game and may just be maniacal enough to pull four middle schoolers through the folds of reality to satisfy his ego. Stranded in a strange world with magical powers and alter-ego bodies, Riley and his friends will have to find a way to defeat Doomface. And Riley will do whatever it takes to get home before his parents realize he's missing-even if that means dooming his friends along the way.
