(3) YA “Avid gaymer” and chronic pain sufferer Keegan finds community and escape in the mythology-inspired virtual game Pantheonic. When his team earns the opportunity to participate in an in-person tournament in New York City, Keegan can’t wait to meet his teammates IRL, but worries his pain will interfere. Video game or mythology fans are most likely to enjoy the book’s extensive descriptions of the game’s puzzles and battles, but Keegan’s self-discovery journey, as well as the romance between Keegan and his transgender guy teammate, broaden the appeal.
