Description
International Bestselling Series!
"Dystopia for elementary school. Something from The Matrix, something from 1984, something from Ender's Game, something from Ready Player One […] The plot about two brothers who are trying to play the famous computer game KEPLER62 […] is definitely engaging." -Goodreads Reviewer
A new sci-fi adventure full-color illustrated series featuring brothers who are selected for a mission to save humanity!
Overpopulation has caused earth’s natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus. The boys manage to get hold of a copy of Kepler62, the newest computer game that everyone’s talking about and which is supposed to be almost impossible to complete. Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It’s an invitation – for an adventure.
Advance Praise
"Worthy of all the praise and popularity! […] An impressive world, an addictive plot, lovely brothers as the main characters and great illustrations as the icing on the cake. The story is set in a fictional future, which also reflects the real problems of today's world. My lunch breaks at work were about to drag on because I couldn't put this book down. I have to borrow the second book in the series soon!" -Goodreads @luonnonlukija
"The pacing was great and the book is really short right so I finished it really quickly […] We said this already but the illustrations are really great […] I love the characters and couldn't put it down, but it ended way too soon for me." 2Kid Reviews, YouTube www.youtube.com/@2KidReviews
"The setting is a dark, dystopian place with the motto of 'The government is our friend.' The absence of the boys’ mother adds to the somber tone. […] Frequent cartoon art, with Manga-like characters, will pique the interest of reluctant readers." Youth Services Book Review, Reviews by Massachusetts librarians
