Description
Saskatchewan Book Award —Shortlisted
Strategy is everything when it comes to gaming — and girls.
Zach is used to living in a world of legendary battles, epic journeys, and life-or-death situations. As a gamer, he is hard-wired for adventure, even though it’s from the comfort of his parents’ couch. But nothing has prepared him for battling the biggest storm in Saskatchewan’s history while trapped in the local mall.
On top of everything, Zach has finally met the girl of his dreams, but he finds himself helping everyone else stay safe while his best friend spends time with her. What Zach doesn’t realize is that love always finds its way when you’ve found the right person and are ready to risk it all to save the day.

Congratulations to the author on the innovative topic and the praise of kindness! 'The Gamer's Guide to Getting the Girl' is a book about love and friendship but finally it's completely different than so many other books capturing the same topic. Here a bunch of strangers is trapped in a shopping mall during a tornado. Zach as one of main characters meets Samara a girl of his dreams just minutes before one of the greatest natural disasters hits the mall. While trying to stay safe people deal with fear, injuries. basic survival needs but most of all human relations. People are all different but when we care and when we act together with are capable of great things. Zach not only finds a girl, he also realises that he wants to be a doctor in the future, and that his friend Cooper is one of the best people he knows. Nothing gets people closer together than very dangerous circumstances. I highly recommend!
Excellent story of Zach and Cooper, 2 gaming mates who find themselves stuck in a mall at the end of late night trading just as a huge storm hits. Together with Samara, a beautiful girl that Zach is crushing on, they have to contend with not only the storm but looters and drug addicts as well as George the main security guard having a heart attack. Great book about ordinary people believing in themselves in extraordinary circumstances. Will definitely purchase for my students as very suspenseful and keeps you reading wondering what will happen next.
I loved this book from the very first page until the very last sentence. The protagonist Zach, was an amazing character all the way around. I loved the storyline and the fact I felt my heart breaking with theirs or being put back together with theirs. I felt as if I was with the characters every step of the way. That’s when you know a novel has been written to someone’s best ability! I one hundred percent recommend this book to anybody of any age.
